A collision between a jet ski and boat Friday on Lake Cumberland brings the total of people killed in boating accidents in Kentucky this year to four. That’s according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Marcus Bowling is a boating education coordinator with the department. His top safety tip: wear a life jacket, which he calls the seatbelt of a boat.
“And I try to get people in the mindset of you need to make it a habit of when the boat’s moving your life jackets on. Just like when you get a car, you click your seatbelt. And that your protection in a boat, we don't have a seatbelt.”
