We go EVERY opportunity, for me since the early 1960's. Though back then (for my family) it was in competition with Dots in Alton.
Only on special occasions did we go to Harts or maybe even Baileys,,,
NONE of which required safety lanyards to be served.
Actually dont recall seeing safety lanyards on boats until maybe the 90's.
Seems like they serve a purpose in rough water, but rarely a benefit to the masses.
I guess its like everything these days, we seem to almost completely ignore the major issues and focus on problems that impact very few. Five times as many people die in the US from food poisoning than in boats, but we see little progress in that industry. But lanyards in boats, thats important enough to be a requirement. Maybe so, but how we got to that before other items makes me scratch my head. I can see a number of potential requirements long before lanyards. How about automatic bilge blowers for starters,,, Never mind, this will only start more arguments.
