Came accross this when I was looking for info on wader safety - although it refers to thigh waders.......it\'s an extract form the \"Conclusions and Findings\" of an investigation carried out by the Marine Casualty Investigation Board of an incident which ocurred in Sept. 2003:-
\"..........was wearing thigh waders when he was thrown into the water.These would have filled with water and pulled the wearer under, however experienced anglers are practiced at kicking off waders when they become immersed in water. When ..............s\' body was recovered from the water, thewaders were not attached to his feet. This indicates that he had managed to kick them off. Nevertheless, they would have created a drain on his physical reserves until they were removed\"
You can read the full report here if you want to.............
