Just curious, what happens if one accidentally gets in too deep and your
waders fill up with water?
I haven't been there yet, but it's crossed my mind if it happens. Sounds
like it could be a dangerous situation....not a great swimmer here.

You get cold and wet, and probably ruin your camera. Some people claim
that you must wear a wading belt for safety. Lee Wulff disagreed, and
jumped in a river with no wading belt to prove it. If I recall
correctly, he claimed that wearing a wading belt is MORE dangerous,
because the air trapped in your legs could prevent you from holding your
head above water. Nevertheless, I wear a belt. It holds my collapsible
wading staff, which is a lot more convenient than a ski pole.
