Very sad indeed.

Are there any things people should know, besides life vests and not swimming against the current, that can make it so this type of tragedy doesn't happen again?
He was riding a jet ski and by their nature you are going to fall off them. Its like water sking and at some point you will be in the water. I'm not sure who owned the Jetski but no one should ever ride one without a vest and most states its law that you wear one. The only other thing would be to ride very safe until you learn how to handle one of these. The bigger the person or the more weight on a jet ski the harder it is to keep up right as they become top heavy. So as big as he was with a pasenger he could have been just cruising around and lost balance. Its kind of like a bike if you go real slow its hard to keep your balance but after you speed up some it will balance itself to a point. Its just said loss and that a $15.00 life vest would have saved his life.

Thats sad to hear but it is nothing that is new. If you think about it when someone dies its in the papper then you announce when the viewing and the funeral will take place. A theif then knows when the home has a very good chance of being empty and they case it out. If my memory is correct at one time back in the 80's or 90's these where very common and people would make sure the home was not empty at those times. It makes a tough time even tougher on the family.
