John:
Correct that is what I meant, "SHOULD" survive.

I think its easy to dis on someone in that situation for all the obvious things that are wrong.
But the brain can do funny things under severe situations, and even well prepared people have fatal accidents that could be avoided.

If it were my 20K+ boat taking on water, I,m not sure what the first thing I would do is. Just not prepared unless youv'e been there before. (in which case is time to take up another hobby), But once in that situation as that guy in the pic, the time for the PFD has long passed.

Lets all be safe out there.
I pick up SOSpenders for my son this year.
Little more peace of mind.
