Waders....A safety hazard?

[rvanman2000]

I agree being aware of a situation and knowing how to react is the best survival defense. I had thought of cutting off the straps in an emergency then stripping down the waders, but the shoes I'd probably have to cut as well. I have fairly snug fighting neoprene waders but dont have a belt. I don't have any intentions of running any serious rapids, but sweepers are a problem up here and most say that is the biggest concern. Good awareness and being prepared should help keep me safe.
