People stay safe on boats by following rules. They must have one life jacket for every person on board. They can bring lights and a whistle to see or make noise in an accident. Dark clouds and strong winds are signs of bad weather. People should get off the boat in case of a storm. The driver should not suddenly stop, start, or turn. Those actions could cause someone to fall in the water.
