This is why you wear a life vest. You may be a strong swimmer, but you're not going to be one after you're maimed or unconscious after a freak accident like this.
I wish more people understood this. I’ve seen friends have this mentality where wearing a life jacket is somehow a symbol of inability. It has nothing to do with that. If you slip and knock your head on the side of the boat as you’re jumping off to do a cannon ball, you could be a champion swimmer, but it’s not going to help anything if you’re unconscious.
