Today is Wear your Life Jacket to Work Day. The Donlin Gold staff is wearing jackets to recognize Boating Safety Week which runs May 16-23, and focuses on the importance of safety during the boating season. While boating is an important part of the Alaska lifestyle, every year, some lose their lives in boating accidents. Five out of six Alaska boating fatalities are a cold water immersion related drowning, following a vessel capsizing, swamping or falling overboard. Many could have survived if they had simply been wearing a life jacket. For more information on boating safety, contact the Alaska Office of Boating Safety at alaskaboatingsafety.org.
