>>I can think of at least one case of purely equipment-related entrapment that might have killed one of my most competent sea kayaking buddies, had I not been there to perform a "hand of god" rescue. >>I found that her new pfd had two nylon strap loops on the lower back, and that the handle of my back deck bilge pump (a Chimp pump) had passed through one of them.
