The topic reminds me of the story about the Indian, loading his canoe for the winter trip south, with family and all possessions. When asked about tipping over and losing all in the frigid waters he replied, "I darest not." Experience in MOB drills strongly reinforces the point of not going overboard in the first place. Recovery may be an even money bet.
