Actually, there is a D-Ring in _each_ of the two pockets.

Whoever suggested locking D-Rings instead of the ones with a swing gate
has offered the best solution.

I have snagged myself getting in and out of boats because of something
protruding in a pocket but that is easy to take care.  The idea of being
binered to a deck line or bungee is absolutely the scariest prospect
around.
