Thank you all for the reports. Some of them I will use as case studies, with sufficient detail in the reports to enable further searching to complete the picture. I hadn't considered post-rescue collapse, as I didn't think there were many examples that were reported in detail enough to provide a compelling arguement, but I now see that this is not the case. I'll follow that up as well. Doug, you mentioned the loss of dexterity following immersion, and I think that is a big issue that is not often addressed in much of our training, and is so relevent to paddlers, so I highlight that. Keep the reports coming if you don't mind, there are far more than I was aware of. I'll dig out a few we've had and post them.
