I bet that was a tense few seconds and I'd say that would make a man remember to take it off. I can't relate to that, but it makes me think of the time I set the hook on a ditch pickle. My seat pedestal broke loose and I did a backwards swan dive into 30 ft od 50 degree water with overalls and boots on at 10:30 one night. I didn't know up from down and was lucky to surface. If I wouldn't have been with the best outdoorsman and man in general that I know, I doubt I would have made it out alive. He knew that if he followed me in looking for me that I would have most likely drown us both. He always wore a coon light on a soft cap so he flipped it on and I went to the light. 30 or so seconds seemed like an eternity.
