I'm always tempted to put my helmet in my cockpit but don't for just that reason. Thanks for confirming my fear! -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Peter Treby Once upon a time, I loaded a helmet between my legs in the cockpit of a fairly close fitting kayak, with a small cockpit opening, then headed out through surf. I got swatted over, and found the helmet had dropped into a jamming position, such that a wet-exit didn't seem possible. This situation provided a powerful incentive to roll, which I did, and came up very chastened about my own stupidity. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
