In big white water, a whistle can cause a life jacket to unzip and then to
be stripped off a person.  Makes the lifejacket kind of useless.  ;)

After Bob Volin's recent post I've just taken a run through the Atlantic
Kayak Tours website. Good stuff, worth reading.
I found this remark: "Whistles should not be attached to your PFD zipper."
What can be the thinking here? I have a whistle attached to my zipper (I
mean PFD zipper) and I can use it OK.
