He's a genius indeed if he can figure out how sell a kayak with a metal 
cage around a paddler that's used  for ballast - the ballast weight 
needs to be below the water, and I for one am NOT going to paddle a 
kayak while trapped in a metal cage under water, even during a thunderstorm!

(How's that for a scary thought!)
