Ijust wonder, why didn't they wear life saving jackets when they were in the water.Life jackets are unsinkable .They were designed to float.But what do they know , they look teenagers to me.

It is interesting that no media covered the khmer boaters that was drowned also. If we are to prevent this in the future, we should investigated his injury as well.

As for the life jacket, maybe we can design a type that work with this type of sport. Maybe, we can position the foam where it would not interfere with the movement to row the boat. I am thinking something like a loose and light weight Styrofoam backpack that they can use in case of trouble. How's that sounds? I sure there are more ideas.

9:34am,
There are inflatable life jackets that stay flat on your body until you pull its string where the batery pumping mechanic puffs it up with air immediately.

Yes, that will work.

Thanks.

I think it works by the little compressed liquid helium can or container, not battery. That will take too long to inflate.

Correction: Actually battery is not reliable for this application because it might be dead if you don't check it.
