[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 345275, member: 7544"] I figure the odds are higher that I'll end up in the water while the big motor is off than when it's running. When I'm running my big motor, I'm sitting down in one spot. Once the big motor is off, I'm standing, moving around, leaning out over the edge of the boat, etc. Bill Dance bloopers are a prime example of what I'm talking about. As for being knocked out, I can honestly say I've never seen a report of a tin boat fisherman being knocked unconscious and drowning because he was unconscious, so it's got to be a pretty rare occurrence. I see a lot of reports of drownings from not wearing a life jacket though. After all, you're head impacting the water isn't likely to knock you out. [/QUOTE]
