I was thrown from the boat in the calumet cut where it meets the intercostal several years ago. Still don't know what really happened. The boat slid sideways and hooked bad and threw me. It was really cold out and I was wearing lots of clothes with a life jacket but my head was barley above the water. Thank god I was wearing my kill switch and was able to get to the side of the boat and hang on till someone came by and helped me out of the water.
The next day I bought one of these.
