Jet Ski Safety with Attorney John Day. It is also a tribute to Dresden's Roy Herron who died July 9, 2023 as the result of a jet ski accident that occurred a week earlier on Kentucky Lake. Herron served as a Tennessee State Representative for 10-years, and after that in the State Senate for 16-years. 

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) reports that already there have been 13 boating related fatalities in Tennessee so far in 2023. It becomes even more personal since five (5) of those deaths occurred on Percy Priest Lake, that has shoreline here in Rutherford County. 

John Day not only explains about water safety and boating laws in Tennessee, but gives insight into how the operation of a jet ski is dramatically different from propellor powers watercraft.
