When I'm driving my hands are on the steering wheel. If I am doing something in my boat where I'm not holding on to my steering wheel, my throttle is in neutral. I can understand other people falling out the boat but not the driver.
I knew someone who was alone in the boat and fell out. It was a pretty fast rig. One of the steering cables popped while at probably 3/4 throttle or so. Motor cut completely to one side. He went through the hull.
For someone who has been on the water as long as you have you sure seem hard headed.

Obviously some people aren't reading my posts. I never once said you shouldn't wear your kill switch or that it is a bad idea to wear your kill switch.
I said it is pretty hard to fall out of a boat in normal operation unless you are driving crazy. I also said that an accident (hitting a well head, something submerged, collision,etc) changes that.
