Lidl 2 person kayak

Anyone else notice that lidl are selling kayaks but no life jackets. Surely with the amount of deaths in our waters lately, it should be a requirement to at least have life jackets for sale if you are selling kayaks and the like?

Celly Smunt · 14-07-2013 02:40PM

Or you could just buy the life jackets separately?

Or maybe we could just ban large bodies of water?

Are crash helmets sold with cars/bikes?

So should Penny's who sell bikinis have to sell life jackets too?

Richard tea · 14-07-2013 02:41PM

Do you want them to sell common sense with that also

Ironically Lidl sell motorbike helmets without the bikes.

You can use rope to tie it to yourself making it a personal floatation device.

ericl · 14-07-2013 02:43PM

Looks like its made from balloons.

Most bike shops would sell helmets, and as far as I know cars come with seatbelts and airbags

Christ! well i didnt really know what to expect, should have known better lol

Arawn · 14-07-2013 02:45PM

people are dying because they are ****ing idiots. Do you actually think everyone who died had died because they were kayaking without a Ba?? In fact it's safer to be in a kayak in water than not

Pointless warning labels were made for people like you

Indian restaurants sell red hot vindaloos but neglect to sell you toilet rolls and sudocrem for the 'morning after Japanese flag flaming ringpiece'.

mike65 · 14-07-2013 02:49PM

Looks like it would flip at the first sight of a ripple.

why not it's true. A mate of mine is in the coastguard. Pulled out a 17year olds body yesterday, said people were swimming in around the same spot an hour later

Lenin Skynard · 14-07-2013 02:50PM

Ugh I'm going to end up impulse buying one of these and throwing it in the press with the popcorn maker, coffee machine and paddling pool. Damn you LIDL!

Ace Attorney · 14-07-2013 02:50PM

well, i think my username sums it up perfectly

Duckworth_Luas · 14-07-2013 02:51PM

I recently stabbed myself in the face with a sharp knife I bought in Aldi. Stupid thing didn't come with a "Warning Includes Sharp Knife" label!

Chucken · 14-07-2013 02:52PM

Subliminal advertising. Well played OP, well played.

Now I need an inflatable kayak.

It kinda looks like it should have life jackets included in fairness.

Maybe they should also sell some common sense about not going into water if you cannot swim.
