    Default Tipsy Tubie

    just wondering how many of you tubers have ever tipped over in or slipped out of the tube? is it highly likely?

    and do you where your life vest at all times? or stowed in the back?

    I haven't been tubing for very long but I can't think of many instances where it would tip or that I would fall in. The most likely scenario I could see that would get me in the water is if I had a big leak and couldn't make it to shore on time.

    Even then, I have the ODC 420 which has two air bladders so I think I would still be ok even if one popped.

    I'd put money on the bet that tubes are IMPOSSIBLE to "flip"...

    Don't tell anyone, but I never bring a vest ... just a TIGHT nylon belt 'round my waders...

    I have so much **** packed onto my tube that I have to really be leaning forward to get it to tip. Which I never have the need to do, so no worries of tipping for me.

    I wear my life vest sometimes, but most of the time it's strapped to the tube or in the back compartment of my tube.
