This is false. At any moment, the unexpected and worst-case scenario can happen. You will not have time to put on a life jacket if your boat is flipped or launched into the air, causing unbalance. If you were to wear a lifejacket before getting on the boat, there is no danger of drowning when the boat is tipped, flipped, or launched. I hope this helps!
