re: Can you actually drown in waders?

Flipped my boat on a stump in Felsenthal NWR in Arkansas wearing waders in the ever evolving quest to kill Mallard ducks in 1995. No Q-Beam. Hence the reason we hit a stump. No kill switch either. No life jacket. Probably made every mistake you could make to drown, but God was looking out for us that day. We were wearing the old school Hodgemans. Obviously filled slap up with water however they formed a huge air pocket though around the waist making my feet raise a little. Also was staring at a running motor with a turning prop until it died. That water was absolutely frigid. That in itself will make you go mind numb. I was able to pull myself on top of the boat but it took some effort but I doubt I would have drowned because the air bubble but it would have made for some awkward swimming if the boat would have stayed upright and motored off.
