Take part in the RYA kill cord and kill switch failure survey 

Help us research the reasons for failure of this vital piece of equipment

Ever had a kill cord or kill switch failure?  

The RYA has a long-standing commitment to education about safety afloat. As such it has championed the use of kill cords on small open powerboats for many years. The kill cord message remains as important as ever. This survey examines causes of kill cord failure other than human error.  

Please help us research the reasons for failure of this vital piece of equipment - Kill Cord and Kill Switch Survey    

The survey should take only a few minutes to complete.  

The survey results will help us better understand what problems boaters are experiencing so that we are able to shape future advice, training and work with manufacturers.  

The survey closes on Wednesday 30 September.
