Hi George,
: I think another issue is that in most sports you can take a break and wait
: out trouble.: In kayaking when the going gets rough there may be no safe harbor.
I agree with you. Another thing that many don't recognize is that fatigue plays a huge part in these incidents. Paddling all day and then having the rough weather hit is an extra concern. When fatigued ones ability to perform physically and mentally is impaired.
It is not that accidents happen at inopportune times, it is that factors come together which make incidents more likely.
