It is required by law for everyone on a boat to wear a life jacket age doesn't make a difference. There are people of all ages who can't swim and it protects you in case of accident.
In Missouri, there is no specific age requirement for wearing a life jacket; however, children under the age of 7 are required by law to wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket while on boats that are less than 26 feet in length. It is strongly recommended for all individuals, regardless of age, to wear a life jacket while boating to ensure safety. Always check for the latest regulations and guidelines, as they can change.
I believe that you must be at least 10 before you don't have to wear a life jacket in a boat, although I'm not entirely sure , I'm pretty sure that this is the answer. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Even though you are old then you'll still need a life jacket to be safe!
Each person on board a boat is required to wear an approved life jacket when the vessel is underway, especially in certain conditions like when operating on open waters or in rough weather. Additionally, children under a specified age, often 12 years old, are generally required to wear life jackets at all times, regardless of the boat's status. Some states and regulations may have specific requirements regarding life jacket use during activities like waterskiing or when the boat is at anchor. Always check local laws for the most accurate requirements.
An old one from a surplus store? Yes. A current one used by the military? No.
