A lot of us have been knocked around a bit while wading and many of us have tossed end over end in some conditions. Being submersible for a little while is certainly better when your gear allows you low risk of taking on water.

I don't wear my Sospenders enough...

After a close call last year for me and a friend i do what John has suggested and wear my Sospenders more often now.I even put them on when i use my wetsuit makes me just about unsinkable.Guess its true sometimes you do get wiser as you get older
