A couple people fall out of boats and we need a new law? Don't thinks so. What is the incident rate compared to the number of boats on lake in the summer. Immaterial for sure. what do we know about the people that fell out? Were they licensed to drive? If the boat is running after they fall out doesn't that lead one to believe the left the controls with the boat in gear? Was the driver seated when operating if conditions were not great on the water? Laws imposed on responsible people for actions of the irresponsible are no deal. You know, kinda like gun laws.......but that's another topic for a different day.
