Boating Laws.?

Question

Does anyone know if it's a law in Minnesota, that you have to have a life jacket on when you're water sking or tubing? Even adults?

Answer 1

Whether it is a law or not, it would be just plain stupid not to wear a life jacket. EVEN adults. It probably is a law though. Please wear a life jacket to prevent injuries!!!

Answer 2

Here's a link to Minnesota water safety laws.

Answer 3

I'm not sure about Minnesota but in Arizona you have to wear a jacket or belt. It does NOT have to be Coast Guard approved so an impact vest is legal but they require you to wear something, like a belt does anything. If the lake is private you might not need to wear anything at all but you probably ought to look at the rules and regs for the lake to be certain. I know this doesnt pertain to Minn. but hope it helps.
