ROGERS
Beaver Lake PSA – Life Jacket Safety Reminder
Beaver Lake, Northwest Arkansas
After years of kayaking, boating, and swimming around Beaver Lake and rivers across Northwest Arkansas, I rarely wore a life jacket — until the day it saved my life.
A sudden flip in frigid water left my body in shock and completely paralyzed. I went under instantly — but my life jacket lifted me back to the surface and gave my friend time to pull me out.
It can happen to anyone — unexpectedly and fast. Enjoy the beautiful water, but do it safely. Wear a life jacket. It could save your life.
