[QUOTE="ccm, post: 371119, member: 13447"] I always wear mine. I run just a small 4hp on a 14ft v hull & it has a kill switch; my old 2hp did not. I was going to my favorite crappie hole up a creek going around 5mph & I hit a stump. The impact threw my 250lb rear end off my seat & into the front bench. If it hadn't have been for the other seat I had mounted on the front bench it could have knocked some of my teeth out. Then their was the task of trying to get back to tiller & regain control of a boat that was doing circles. The old 2hp was at wide open throttle & it wasn't an easy task to get to the kill button/throttle lever. I can't imagine what would have happened with more horsepower or speed; I may have thrown me overboard & left to the mercy of an out of control boat & motor with a spinning prop. [/QUOTE]
