Years ago, Lee Wulff was in a video where he dove off a bridge wearing waders and no belt and he swam to shore, proving that it was a myth that they would drag you down.

Channel 10 said the fisherman fell off a breakwall. He probably conked his head and got knocked out and drowned, tho I am speculating.

That said, I am still wearing my wading belt! I have fallen and gone in, and it keeps the water out. I have never fallen in without a belt, but I always wear one so I can't tell you firsthand what it's like without one. Maybe someone else will chime in who can.
