What does everyone think? Should wearing a lifevest while participating in boat towed sports be mandatory by law?

Wearing a lifevest is important for safety, but it can be annoying, uncomfortable and a bit of a hinderance to freedom of movement. A good wetsuit gives you buoyancy but doesnt support your head.
