My logic is this... The 50 year old will have had the benefit of 38 additional years with which to
choose when it's appropriate to put on the vest. We're talking about our children here and giving them the advantage of actually living long enough to make that decision on their own. Once they get to 13, they can lawfully choose between being cool and being safe -- hopefully with 12 years and a predisposition to being safe under their belts.
