Boating Safety
SAFETY ALERT From August 28, 2001:
The United States Coast Guard advised boaters not to "Teak/Drag
Surf." Recent boating fatalities revealed that carbon monoxide
(CO) emitted from a vessel’s exhaust resulted in CO poisoning and
the death of at least six teak surfers. "Teak/Drag Surfing" places the
individual in position directly exposed to the CO in the engine’s
exhaust. This may result in a loss of coherent responses and even
death. In addition, "Teak/Drag Surfing" dangerously exposes the
individual to a possible propeller injury, and since it is done without
a life jacket (PFD), it significantly increases the probability of
drowning. Therefore, the Coast Guard stresses, "Teak/Drag
Surfing" is a very dangerous activity and advises boaters not to
participate in it.
The Coast Guard pointed out that carbon monoxide is one of the
most dangerous gases. It strikes before you know you are exposed
and it impairs in a way that can and too often does lead to death.
That is why it is so important to the Coast Guard that in every
circumstance where it can be avoided, it is.
