State officials are reminding the public that simply bringing a life jacket to the water is not sufficient, stressing that the device must actually be worn.
According to officials, life jackets are required for children until they reach age 13. Requirements also extend to anyone on Utah's rivers and individuals being towed, such as those on water skis or in an inner tube.
The original report, published at the Davis Journal, notes that specific groups must use life jackets for safety.
Mandatory use includes children under 13, people navigating rivers, and those being towed on equipment like inner tubes or water skis.
