Pretty scary story

You just never know.

Wow , only this weekend at the Gun show my buddy mentioned the fact I need to purchase a knife, this re-enforces what he was telling me.

[NOTHING ELSE MATTERS]

Guys, if you wear a belt, do your self a favor and put on your X-mas list a Leatherman. Once you have it, you would never go without it.
I have the "wave" for the fifth year and still going, just replaced two pouches.

Good story, and reinforces everything I learned from Boy Scouts and taking the traing for lifeguard.

I keep a knife with me at all times and on the V I have knives strategically placed in safe places all around with easy access.
I even keep a sticker in my truck right next to my seat.
I guess I am a knoife junkie.

Parish I am a knife junkie too. I also wear a Wave on my belt and I have never gone anywhere since I was 10 years old without a pocket knife.

BUT, wave or pocket knife would have been little help here, you need a sheath knife. Something you can grab, pull out and cut with instantly. No time for the others

The other issue for me would be the boots, I would need to get those off quick and mine are a little tight.

I agree Willy, sheath is better in this situation.
I keep a big sticker on the V, I should probably put it on my belt when I board.

As far as boots, that is one thing I picked up from lifesaving class,
NO BOOTS ON BOATS, sneakers, boat shoes, TEVAs or bare feet.

There are many lessons to be learned from this story.
