[Paddlewise] Safety Articles

Hey kayakers,

Do folks prefer _short, concise_ safety articles outlining an incident 
(either first or second hand) followed by a writer's economy of commentary, 
or more in-depth, "turn over every stone" analysis (provided it is strictly 
content related, of course)?

Do kayakers generally like to read permutations of multiple safety 
equipment/hard skill recommendations, or an emphasis on seamanship and 
navigational imperatives?

Not that I've done much writing lately, but with so much information out 
there these days and a multiplicity of instructional kayak books/manuals, 
and a differentiation along the lines of those who view paddling incidents 
as a series of objectifiable rescue skill illustrators versus those who 
don't roll/don't do boat-over-boat drills much, I was wondering what 
direction to emphasize,at the very least, some of the subjective comment in 
future.

Thanks.

Doug Lloyd
