Life jackets help reduce preventable drownings As Memorial Day and National Boating Safety Week (May 17 to May 23, 2025) are approaching, The Corps Foundation, a not-for-profit educational foundation that supports lakes and waterway sites located throughout the U.S. and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), is pleased to announce that Progressive Insurance is providing significant support of life jackets to help reduce preventable drownings at Green River Lake and USACE lakes and river projects across Kentucky. To date, the program has made available more than 5,450 adult life jackets for boaters to use at USACE life jacket loaner stations around the country. The life jackets were procured and distributed to USACE locations that have experienced the most water-related public recreation fatalities. Visitors are invited to used them at no cost and return them when they come off the water. They will be located at USACE-managed facilities where they are accessible to boaters who may not be properly equipped. According to USACE public recreation fatality statistics from the past ten years, 86% were 18 and older, 88% were male and 89% were not wearing a life jacket. This initiative aligns with Progressive's dedication to supporting community safety and responsible boating practices, and with the USACE mission to safeguard public enjoyment of our natural resources. In addition to always wearing a life jacket when boating, boaters are encouraged to take other steps to ensure their safety on the water:
