I got knocked over twice by a dead shark in the surf on a dark night. I had 5 mil neoprenes, a Healy top with dry sleeves and a wader belt plus the bag belt. I went to just my ears backward and thanks to the tight neoprenes and belts I got about two cupfuls of water on my neck and that was it.
Like someone has posted, you won't drown or get pulled down or whatever. But that doesn't mean a thing when you have to drag the extra weight around in the wash while getting the crap beaten out of you by waves, or waves and rocks or waves and rocks and current. That's why you don't want any water on the inside.
