Old Coot, I sit on mine! My butt gets sore if I don't. I don't think I have worn the life jacket since my first time in the canoe.
I believe in fitting the safety precaution to the risk. Of course I always have a pfd in the boat for every person (it's the law and just common sense). When the weather is good, the lake is small, and there are no waterskiers running me over I don't see a need to be wearing the life jacket. I might think differently if I couldn't swim.
Just use common sense! and if you don't have common sense then wear the life jacket - you WILL need it.
