As a Safety Consultant and Expert Witness I have handled a few premises liability cases involving Duck Boats. A Duck Boat is a combination of motor vehicle, bus, taxi, boat, amusement device and entertainment venue.
The crews that staff them for the most part are seasonal workers under 25 and should be mentioned very little training.
I think it is time for the individual states and cities to pursue stricter permitting and licensing and inspection of the devices. An incident such as the one today on the Delaware River should have never occurred, much less should there have been loss of life.
