Life Vests Save Lives

Life Vests are the most important piece of equipment on your boat. About 80% of boating fatalities happen to boaters who are not wearing a life jacket. Most are unexpectedly submerged into the water with no time to grab a life jacket. Colorado Marine Dealers Association wants to keep all boaters safe.

How Do Life Jackets Save Lives?

  • When sinking in unexpectedly heavy sea conditions.

  • When injured by rocks or submerged objects.
  • When unconscious from carbon monoxide fumes.
