Sure hate to stake my life on "maybe's"? When I was researching kayak safety, someone wrote a chapter on an incident that happened to him where a buddy he was with rolled his yak and struck his head and was knocked unconcious......he said fortunately his buddy has his PFD on and he was able to grab him easily and pull him to safety......the guy went on to say why carry your PFD with you? Cause if you fall in the water without it what is the sense in having it at all unless its on you when you need it?? You can't plan when your mishaps may happen, just be prepared for when they do!
