A federal investigation into a recent boat capsizing incident at Lake Tahoe revealed that none of the eight deceased individuals were wearing life vests. The preliminary report indicated that at the time of the capsizing, only one of the ten passengers was equipped with a life jacket, while another survived by grasping onto a floating vest. This underlines the pressing need for safety gear as weather conditions at Lake Tahoe can change dangerously fast. Beginning January 1, 2025, all motorized vessel operators are mandated to possess a California Boater Card to enhance water safety and decrease accidents.
