Don't disagree but, if true, why (at least in Florida), is a throwable not required if your boat is under 16 feet?

that is my point, somebody on a jet ski could throw a cushion if needed, as could somebody in a 14 ft boat, unpowered canoe etc. the racing exemption etc. is logical IMHO. But my point is that the throwable requirement is obviously so the "captain" can take care of his passengers, not that he must be an aux. coast guard ship.
