Is there a law to say that you have to wear a life jacket on a canoe???

Question

In QLD Australia thank you :)

Answer 1

They can overturn easily, and it may be difficult to get back out of the water.  If the water is cold, hypothermia is potentially fatal.

Its a little less critical if the water is warm and the person swims well.  But lifeguards and others don't know that from a distance.

Load makes a difference in the canoe.  If there is low weight, they are much more stable.  But unloaded, they can be very hard to keep upright.

Answer 2

i dont know the law in austrailia, but if u r too young (like 13) u do, but anything older u r probably fine!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes there is.  You have to have a life jacket that fits properly and if there is more than one person you need a throw cushion also.  In case on person falls out the other can throw it to them.
