Beach Toy Inflatables Are Risky at Sea, Scottish Rescuers Warn

Two men fell from a toy inflatable off the Scottish island of Skye in June. These inflatables aren't designed for the sea—they lack safety equipment and break down easily. The water is dangerously cold, causing bodies to shut down quickly. Summer weather brings more rescues as people use them beyond what they're meant for. Life jackets and a way to call for help are essential.
