+1, they are so incredibly dangerous. And they’ve gotten so popular now, with everyone thinking they can do it, and then you get things like this happening.

The CPSC really needs to outlaw them, like they did with lawn darts. [/quote]

It was a canoe, not a kayak.  Not that it makes much difference in this case.  Article said waves were 2-3 ft high at that time.  [/quote]

Canoes are even more unstable and terrifying![/quote]

Yes, canoes are super scary. I remember being in a canoe at summer camp like 20 years ago, and it tipped over. I thought I was going to die. It one of the vivid memories of my childhood, being so afraid that I was about to drown. I’ve never gone on any kind of boat since then. They really do need to just ban all kinds of small boats like that. They’re just not safe, not under any circumstances. [/quote]

While I am sorry you had a traumatic canoeing experience as a child, I am certain there are certified canoeists (spelling?) and kayakers, for that matter, who would not wish to have these watercraft banned.

By all sensible accounts, the winds were so intense Thursday afternoon that most experienced boaters/canoeists/kayakers would not have been on the water under any circumstances.

And if they were not wearing life vests, we can all agree that vests are crucial to water safety.  [/quote]
