The Issue

In memory of someone we deeply cherish, who lost their life in a sudden and preventable drowning, we urge the implementation of "Logan Law" in Bullhead City. What happened was not extreme or reckless — it was a brief, everyday moment that turned tragic in seconds, affecting family and friends in unimaginable ways.

The Colorado River, especially the sections passing through Bullhead City, is a picturesque yet risky area that sees numerous visitors each year. Many come for recreation, unaware of the powerful currents and abrupt water-depth changes that can swiftly turn a fun outing into a dangerous situation.

The tragedy our family suffered is not an isolated incident; there have been several other drowning cases in this area under similar circumstances. It's crucial to recognize the pattern of preventable accidents and take decisive action to ensure no more lives are lost in this way.

Introducing the "Logan Law" would mandate the use of life jackets in these high-risk areas, a simple but effective step that can save lives. Current safety measures, like warning signs, have proven insufficient, as not everyone understands or heeds them. A law requiring life jackets provides a practical solution, ensuring that every person entering the water is equipped with life-saving support.

Evidence from other regions supports this approach: according to the U.S. Coast Guard, wearing a life jacket increases the chances of survival in a drowning emergency by about 86%. Implementing such a precautionary measure aligns with efforts nationwide to enhance water safety.

We call upon city officials, the mayor of Bullhead City, and the local council to take immediate action. The cost of implementing this change is minimal compared to the irreplaceable value of lives saved and the prevention of future tragedies. By signing this petition, we can urge our local government to adopt lifesaving strategies and make "Logan Law" a reality. Please join us in this effort to ensure the safety of all who frequent these waters and prevent further heartbreaks. Sign the petition and help us turn our loss into a protective shield for others.
