I'll be supporting the t-shirt campaign if the slogan is of the RNLI lifejacket "useless unless worn" type.
Personally, I'd be uncomfortable with gory or graphic images or slogans. The RNLI didn't use - or need - a drowned or drowning body to convey their message.

I support the campaign and especially support whole heartedly what Leapy suggests.

Great idea guys - I like the "Kill Cord" brand idea - if there are T shirts and stickers I would be very happy to promote what I can during the Venture Cup which starts on the 8th of June from Tower Bridge in London - gives us a deadline!

Yes - that sort of thing. I think I had the notion that the actual triangle could be fashioned from a "graphic" killcord. That would leave space for big font "Killcord". I'd consider looping one end of the cord over part of the text, maybe the "d" - like it was being worn.

But the MCA did with their "Don't drink and drown" campaign so it's not entirely unprecedented
MCA - Education - Don't Drink and Drown

Could we use the "useless unless worn" phrase as it is just as relevant to kill cords as lifejackets? Not sure if the RNLI would have any copyright on that, or if they did if they would be bothered.

I suspect the shock tactic does not work. Everyone was shocked by Padstow but it seems to have not had any real effect on kill cord usage so far.

Depends how graphic you are with it. However, I suspect being graphic enough to shock might make kids upset.

Maybe print both front and back with the kill cord one side and propellors Kill on the other, with a prop in a triangle?

Maybe look for an idea that is provocative enough to make people think, without being graphic or gory.

I'm not sure whether focussing on the prop is helpful, or whether it should all be about the kill cord. They are obviously inextricably linked, but the message needs to be really simple like "Kill cords save lives"
Or how about looking at safe sex campaigns for some parallels? If it's not on, it's not on!

That's good! 
It could be modified to
Kill Cords are like Lifejackets - Useless unless worn!
