Failure is your word, now that Steve has provided more details, I would
dispute that anything "failed" during the incident he described.
In the latest version the seat apparently did slide forward but the paddler
remained seated and upright. He then rolled up and pushed the seat back
again. I'll wait on talking to John Dawson to determine if the spraydeck
failed (came off) as Steve said, or if he was mistaken about that as well
(as with "literally, up to his armpits").
