yeah, I'm glad I survived as well, I can't really explain why I didn't have a pfd, just didn't think about it, though I now realize that it is required for both legality and safety. I felt about as smart as a bag of hammers when it happened. My brother bought the tube new about a month ago and gave it to me as a birthday gift, it is a White River Fly Shop, Lost Lake, open front. I imagine it was inexpensive. It was actually a cool, rainy day when it happened, I inflated the tube with a hand pump, I don't have any sort of gauge to tell you an exact pressure, I just inflated it until it felt firm, but still gave under slight pressure. Should I find a pump with a gauge?
