Video of Kayak accident
I was out diving the other night and at the end of my dive I ran into Tony of Team Sewer. Tony had just rolled his kayak and was in the water. He provided the details of the mishap in another thread. I happened to have my GoPro running and wanted to share the video. I hope Tony doesn't mind me sharing as I thought it could be helpful for promoting kayaking safety:

It's great to have a video that shows what Tony explained it his thread. People need to take heed because as you see, it is so much harder in the dark. If you go out alone and have a similar problem, you provably are not coming back. Practice all aspects of self rescue and carry extra safety gear and wear a PDF. Good thing everything came out OK. The missing or damaged gear can be replaced, your life is something else. Thanks for sharing this video, it will save some lives.

Yes rick deserves credit for standing by... I give rick credit for coming over and trying to help out where he could, he stood by and helped out with holding onto my pfd and waders. The fact is he did not save my life.... he didn't have to, but he could have if I was in serious trouble. The fact is "I" righted my kayak, an "I" climbed back on. Let's not forget Jorge was there too. What saved me is simply being prepared. Having the right tools in the right place and having trained myself for just such a situation. Like Jorge said there are no heros here, everybody did what they were supposed to do, and stood by ready to help if needed.

The inflated vest made it look like you were choking out but if you only listen to the video, you were handling it pretty darn well.
When I saw Jorge in the background (2:03) with that gaff in his hand...I knew you weren't going to die. Makes me wonder if he regrets not having the chance to stick...er...save you with it...Jim |

glad this was a good ending.
Cool that Rick took the time out of his trip to jump in and put your stuff into the kayak. |

Glad that all turned out well. It did demonstrate why I am not a fan of purely inflatable PFDs. You should not have to remove a safety item in order to get in your kayak.
It was noted that you had to remove your waders as well, were you wearing a wading belt? I see a lot of guys in waders without the belt and that is not a good idea. People have a tendency to overestimate their skills and underestimate the ocean. There is always another day to go out, no point in risking things on crappy days. Great to see everyone pitch in so this was a happy ending.
