[Paddlewise] Fatal Accidents Involving Folding Kayaks?

A few of us were wondering why we never hear of kayak fatalities involving
folding kayaks.  We could only think of Fritz Romer's disappearance.

I checked Broze/Gronseth's Deep Trouble, and could not even find a nonfatal
incident involving a folder.  And, I do not recall any incidents in Sea
Kayaker since Deep Trouble came out.

What gives?  Do paddlers of folders use better judgment ... have guardian
angels ... or just fail to tell others of their mistakes?
