SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES

Hypothermia

Hypothermia, the loss of body heat to the water, is a significant cause of deaths in boating accidents. After an individual has succumbed to hypother- mia, he or she will lose consciousness and then drown.

PFDs can increase survival time be- cause of the insulation they provide.

Naturally, the warmer the water, the less insulation one will require. When operating in cold water (below 4.4°C (40°F)) consideration should be given to using a coat or jacket style PFD as they cover more of the body than the vest style PFDs.

Some points to remember about hy- pothermia protection:

–While afloat in the water, do not at- tempt to swim unless it is to reach a nearby boat, fellow survivor, or a floating object on which you can lean or climb. Unnecessary swim- ming increases the rate of body heat loss. In cold water, drown-proof methods that require putting your head in the water are not recom- mended. Keep your head out of the water. This will greatly lessen heat loss and increase your survival time.

–Keep a positive attitude about your survival and rescue. This will im- prove your chances of extending your survival time until rescue. Your will to live does make a difference!

–If there is more than one person in the water, huddling is recom- mended while waiting to be res- cued. This action tends to reduce the rate of heat loss and thus in- crease the survival time.

–Always wear your PFD. It won't help you fight off the effects of hypother- mia if you don't have it on when you go into the water.

Safe Boating Courses

Many countries recommend or require a boating safety course. Check with your local competent authorities.

Check local and federal boating laws applicable to the waterways where you intend to use your watercraft. Learn the local rules of the road. Know and understand the applicable naviga- tion system (such as buoys and signs).
