re: Can you actually drown in waders?

I guess this is in reference to the grad student who drowned recently, South Dakota or Utah maybe?
Can you drown in the summer in a pool with waders probably not.
Can you drown in cold water when it hits you and takes your breath away and you try to not loose your gun or reach for you phone to keep it dry and then loose your footing and start getting tangled up in limbs and shite!!?? Yeah you most definitely can.
I have seen people panic and almost drown in waist deep water where people were hollering at them “stand up MFr stand up”
