There is absolutely nothing wrong with having alcohol on board even with children as long as the children are not consuming. Its no different than having alcohol in your house with kids.
Maybe someone on board was trying to turn the stereo on and turned the key a little too far beyond the accessory notch while in gear?? I know I have accidentally started my boat (not in gear) by doing this exact same thing.
Now I'm not saying he's not guilty of anything...I'm just saying the news (as well as a few people here) have already hung this guy out to dry without any facts whatsoever. The only facts anyone knows right now is someone lost an arm and that is tragic!

We also know he is guilty of boating under the influence.
