So sad, remember to pray for the families and for goodnes sake, especially for Allison
owners who often push the limits, WEAR YOUR LIFE VEST with kill switch lanyard attached!!!

Wow thats terrible. Prayers set to the families involved. As flyman said, Its a new season and this is a reminder of what can happen so play safe.

Just goes to show that you DONT have to be running 80, 90, 100+ to need a jacket & kill switch! It only works if you wear it.

Terrible, :very sad
