Coddy Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi all I am not sure if you are all aware of the MCA site (Marine & Coastguard Agency) at http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-home.htm Check out the Newsroom and Seasmart, it makes you think about safety and "by the grace of god go I" I think we have all had some sort of 'near miss' but some of these stories are unbelivable. I don't want to be a "downer" but it goes make interesting reading especialy the prosecution section! Regards Coddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Yes, interesting reading, Coddy. The item about the guy that drowned even though he was wearing an automatic life jacket was a lesson we should all learn from. This investigation revealed that the trigger mechanism on the lifejacket had operated successfully, but the gas cylinder had unscrewed a little and the trigger did not reach and pierce it. So, check that your bottles are screwed up tightly. Bob F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Very helpful Coddy!...Maybe we should have it as a 'Safety' link on the home page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
