Safety tips
Would you go duck hunting with a rusty old gun?
Would you set out fishing for lake trout with deep
sea tackle and spinners? Never, you say? Always
prepared?
But you can make the same claim about your
boating skills?
Every year some 115 people are accidentally shot
reports the Canadian Safety Council. But a lot more
people fall out of boats in drowning and near-drowning
incidents.
The Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Service
believes boats are potentially more lethal than guns.
“Last year we had 107 boat-related drownings in
Ontario,” says Gabrielle Moule, Chairman of On
tario’s Red Cross Water Safety program. “Many of
these occurred in late fall and involved hunters and
fishermen who just didn’t regard “boatmanship” as
an important part of their trip preparation.”
“Most hunters don’t wear lifejackets” says
Toronto Star outdoor writer John Power. “I recom
mend the bright orange jackets now on the market
which provide both warmth and safety.
“The other problem we find is that hunters do
tend to overload their boats, then put in a couple of
dogs on top of everything. Add a deer to that, if you’re
lucky, and you have an accident in the making.
“Hunters should remember to keep dogs restrain
ed in the boat to spend an extra few minutes and take a
route along the shoreline, instead of heading straight
out across a lake. And, if they’re optimistic about
their catch, load the boat lightly. Or make two
trips...safety’s more important than time.”
The Coast Guard Ship Safety Branch publishes a
comprehensive booklet entitled “Boating Safety
Guide” which contains not only regulations but also
safety precautions. Red Cross branches across the
country also have a wide selection of literature
available, and conduct Small Craft Safety courses for
the public.
If you think you’ve done your homework, try this
quiz, then check your answers. There are no trick
questions here, just good safety sense, and you should
know every answer.
