I'm sure this is true, but I am recalling one occasion when I found it difficult to get out of my cockpit (on landing) because some loose gear had shifted down around my feet while paddling. Had I been upside down at the time, that might have been a panic moment! Having loose stuff in the cockpit may be as hazardous as having lines to hold things in place.
