Yup, kind of the way it goes...I always told people that if my roll failed one of my choices was to sink to the bottom and run like hell to shore!

: ... sits in his car and watches.

: The only way to guarantee you don't die in a kayaking accident is to quit
: kayaking. For most of us that is not a viable option. Since we are going
: to go paddling we should know our limits and be prepared to brace if we
: need to, if the brace fails we should have some self rescue method
: prepared and the first best option is a roll, if the roll fails we should
: have a second self rescue prepared, if that fails we should be be dressed
: to survive the water as long as possible. If that fails, hope for good
: luck and/or invoke the deity of your choice. If that fails, well at least
: we die doing something we enjoy.
