I guess that's more likely than jamming a finger or smashing some other body part. But out on the fordeck it isnt too likely that I'd be re-entering from there. More likely that I'd be trying to grab ahold of something from the water; a bow toggle or deck line. Youre right though, I hadnt thought of catching clothing on it. The rear deck ones have'nt hung me up, but perhaps I shouldnt push my luck by adding more unless I really need them.
