12 and under must wear life jacket while boating
You should always wear your life jacket - if the boat tips over you might hit your head and be unconscious and a life jacket will keep you from sinking and drowning.
When boating in open waters, it is important to follow safety regulations for wearing a 20 lb life jacket. These regulations typically require that the life jacket is properly fitted and secured, and that it is worn at all times while on the boat. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the life jacket is in good condition and meets the necessary safety standards. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines or penalties.
In Pennsylvania, boating insurance is not legally required for all boats. However, it is mandatory for certain types of vessels, such as those used for commercial purposes. While not required, having boating insurance is highly recommended to protect against liability and damages that may arise while operating a boat. Additionally, lenders often require insurance for financed boats.
Put your life jacket on, secure crew and gear, and keep a sharp lookout.
