[QUOTE="MOA NIGHTHAWK, post: 2535319, member: 121995"] It’s the mentality that speaks to “it’s never happened to me”; unfortunately, I know a guy that was a year ahead of me in my Steamfitter apprenticeship, who was allowed to use pvc as the delivery pipe for an air test on a larger system, who was injured so severely it ended his career! It happened when the pvc delivery pipe either came unsecured or while securing it under pressure. Plastic projectiles ripped through him. His life was dramatically changed in an instant… Of course, I know there are people that go out in the ocean all the time unprepared - not enough life jackets, radio not functioning, GPS not working, no radar in the fog, bilge pumps not tested… Sure most come back (with luck) unscathed, but every season I’ll hear 2-3 distress calls -some second hand/relayed about a boat going down, people in the water, or a panic call and needing a tow from offshore and some not knowing where they are… Even worse; too small of a boat for conditions and people drowning.
