I like it, pweedas. At least constructive discussion started.

In fact ignorance is more dangerous that sharks in dark water and more painful that Irukandji stings.
If any researcher, politician will read SB one day - they will come to one conclusion.
People are unable to educate themselves and take care by their own.
They will introduce compulsory registration, licencing and trainings, safety kits etc.
All I wanted was to remind what distress signal looks like and discuss rescue methods if possible.
For example I do carry 2 meters long string/rope just in case for my own small repairs or towing back to safety somebody gear.
I must say that towing is not exactly easiest thing on modern equipment and without practice although easier then plane gybing could put both victim and rescuer at danger.
