Labor Day Boating Safety Alert | Amarillo News

Texas Game Wardens are ramping up patrols this Labor Day weekend as boat traffic surges — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Last year’s deadly boating season saw 50 fatalities and 77 serious injuries, with 84% of those who died not wearing life jackets. Officials are hammering home the message: always wear a life jacket, never drink and boat, and check your safety gear before you even leave dock. With seven arrests for boating while intoxicated last Labor Day and 62 charges during Fourth of July, the warning is clear — safety isn’t optional, it’s essential.
