That was an interesting article. Sounds like they aren't the killers they are rumored to be. But I have also read an article by a sports writer in Montana(I think) that flipped his toon with the combination of waves, standing and leaning forward. He nearly drowned from the cold water crampin his arm muscles so he couldn't pull himself out of the water. He had a pfd with him, but once the toon flipped he was unable to put it on. Fortunately he had a friend nearby to help him. But enough of these horror stories, common sense seems to be the biggest life saver.
