John, to play the devil's advocate for a moment, given your suggestion that
one should work to prevent having to roll or self-rescue or paddle in the
fog... it seems to me that a person should not be landing in surf or
climbing while waiting out the fog.  The best way to prevent those possible
broken bones is to not attempt the activities that could cause them.  What
do you think?
