Here's the voice of experience. About 2 times a year, I happen to fall in a hole on some river, somewhere. Never have I been drug down. Just kind of float on top of the water, and just cruise downstream until I eventually end up on the bank. Never gone very far. I just lay back with my feet downstream, and actually after the 3rd time I fell in, I felt like I should go back upstream and pay the ride attendant. Now I actually look forward to dunking myself.
The only bitch I have is when I get out of the water, the bottoms of my waders from the leg down are filled with about 5 gallons of water each and makes it real hard to gracefully take a step. Plus I look like the bottom half of the Michelin man.
One other thing I notice, and if it's in the article that Z had posted, sorry for repeating it, (I only read part of the article) the water pressure below the surface seems to hug your legs and torso and will most likely keep water out too. Wear a wading belt.
