now e family members of those who died in tat dragonboat tragic
now demands an apology
frankly speaking, it also boils down to e participants personal
safety to some extent
I see it this way....
Organizers are perhaps partly at fault for not properly
implementing safety rules.
However, ultimately it's up to the dragonboaters themselves to
be responsible for their own safety. I take it that they can swim
well, but even so, they should already have known that choosing to
not wear a lifejacket entails significant risks.
The SMU sailor kid who drowned was an even more tragic case of a
person who wasn't responsible for his own safety. After all, if you
already know that you can't swim very well, and if you already know
that capsizing can be a very bad thing for you, then you jolly well
take the initiative to ask for and put on a lifejacket.
