Typical Yanks. Every one I met in Florida totally ignored their killcord.

Normally on these things it turns out they were clinging to their beer cooler for 14hrs. It is happening so often that I think a cooler is now essential safety gear!
Lifejacket, kill cord and cooler - ready to go!

Lifejacket ? Hah! Why would they want one of those?
What could possibly go wrong that they would need to wear one?
