I won't bother with my opinions either way on the requirement, but I can say from my position as a member of my fire department's swiftwater rescue team, that since this rule has taken effect... I have yet to be toned out to the river for a rescue. We've got the Green and White river's in our district and as soon as the weather was getting nice, we were getting called out (sometimes multiple's in a day), and after this, not one page since. *knocks on wood*
