Why is that? >> I would hope the number of paddlers wearing a PFD far exceeds the number of those paddling without. Given this "huge" base of kayakers wearing a PFD, the number of incidents of people involved wearing them may well be greater. Because there are many more people out there with them on. One needs some kind of ratio of PFD wearers to non-wearers. Anyone have numbers for that?
