Default Waders Danger question

Since water is of neutral bouyance, it will not pull you down. IF you do
not panic, and roll onto the beach, you shouldn't have too much of a
problem. The neoprenes should increase your bouyancy, since they contain
air. Scuba divers use additional weight to compensate for the bouyancy of
their wetsuits. The problem comes when you try to swin with a really big
rudder, and when you try to get out of the water. If you have neoprenes,
they stretch and will hold 400 to 500 pounds of water. A belt is supposed to
restrict the stretching, not to keep the water out. The problem is not
quite so severe with breathables since they will not stretch.

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.

I'll also pick up an wading staff from what I've been reading here, that

ski
pole sounds like a great idea.
