Fact is, most of us are more concerned with getting there, or wondering when food and drink will be served.
Same truth applies to some recreational boaters.
Maybe they carry life jackets on board. They have never had a reason to use them. Over the past few weeks, I've had quite a few phone calls from poker runners who have been to certain events and were shocked to see that nobody, organizers included, paid the slightest attention to safety on the water. One reader told me that people on the run were even drinking alcohol while they were driving. At Poker Runs America events, we take great pride in the fact that we enforce mandatory safety standards.
