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.

Cheers

JKA
