You really need an article about a dead child to remind you that a fast spinning metal propeller can be dangerous?
Often one doesn’t think that something is dangerous until it’s pointed out to them. Stories are the most effective way to spell shit out to people, it’s why we started making them.
Aren’t there hundreds of warning signs with information just like that labeled on everything in the U.S.?
Nobody reads those.
Don’t you need some license or at least an instruction lesson to opperae a boat?
Whether you need that, and the quality of it, depends on the state, and of course nothing’s stopping you from doing it illegally.
Wouldn’t an article about boat safety in general be much more helpful than a story about a dead child?
Who the fuck reads articles about boat safety?
Okay, one person on a boat is now more aware of the danger while ten people around the world are one step closer to mental breakdown and depression.
I’d recommend seeking a psychiatrist for that, this did not affect me whatsoever.
Factory? Hell nah, we home brew in this household
