The water is calm, are not wearing a PFD of any kind, you slip and fall
overboard, hitting your head and knocking yourself out as you enter the
water. Your friend, also without a PFD, goes to save you, gets excited,
falls, hits his/her head as they go over. Two lumps of potential fish food
sink slowly but surely to the bottom.

Probable? No. Possible? Of course it is possible. The only remaining
question is: is there really a question here?

If you aren't fishing a tournament (i.e., just out for fun) and the wx
is calm, do you wear a life jacket? I don't know all the rules
state-by-state; I'm assuming most states have a 'must have PFD for each
passenger in the boat' rule. I'm also assuming you know how to swim, and
have enough common sense to throw a PFD on as soon as the wx kicks up.
Just an informal poll....
