Stop Propeller Injuries Now (SPIN) –
a Propeller Safety Advocacy Group

Per the SPIN web site, “SPIN actively promotes boating safety issues, specifically the need to protect the public from accidents and fatalities from the exposed propeller.”

Founded by Marion Irving deCruz and assisted by many others around the country, SPIN is the oldest and best known advocate of propeller safety. Marion has worked tirelessly for over 15 years encouraging and promoting propeller safety legislation, regulations, and education. SPIN has single handedly kept propeller injury protection issues in front of regulators and manufacturers. Without their constant voice, propeller safety issues would quietly slipped through the cracks and been put away until the next high profile accident. Marion is also well known for working with victims and victims families, putting them in contact with others who have gone through similar circumstances, and later enlisting them in her growing network of propeller safety advocates.

We commend SPIN for their efforts and encourage you to visit their site. They have worked long and hard to provide support to survivors, inform the public, keep legislators and regulatory agencies focused on the issue, and networking with victims and their families.

We sometimes work together with SPIN on common issues.
