Last yr in NY on Johnsons creek I was wading ,my son was walking the bank.I attempted to climb up the bank,fell backwards and landed on my back,but somehow quickly ended up on my stomach,like Ducksterman my feet ended up higher than my head and I couldn't right myself,drowning was a real possibilty,lucky for me my son jumped in and grabbed my vest and held my head up,depth of water was waist deep.I was wearing neoprenes w/belt.
