@HeyMaker84
The better question is, if you're not an Eskimo out on the Bering Sea, is it normal to kayak?

Student, 17, saves businessman from drowning while on his first ever kayaking trip
A high school student who was kayaking for the first time saved a man from drowning after he plunged into the Chicago River.
Emmanuel Gonzalez, 17, was in the water with his girlfriend when they heard people on the banks shouting that a man had fallen in and paddled over.
They found a man, dressed in a suit, face down yesterday afternoon in the downtown area of the Loop...

I'm not sure what happened but Kayak's have a skirt that is sometimes super tight/water tight around you. This skirt has a little handle at the front, when you flip upside down if you cannot find the handle, or if you put the skirt on with the handle inside, not outside the skirt it can be near impossible to get out of. You just hang upside down in the water, it's a sick feeling. I was out once and it was cold, my hands were cold and I had gloves on. The strap was really skinny on the skirt More..

@velocity73R Teenager in kayak saved the drowning man who had been sitting near the river and reading a newspaper when he had a medical emergency and fell in. The headline is misleading.

@guykirb Tough words until it's you being worked over on the stretcher or your house on fire - then you'll whine at having too few of them.

@England1415 yea man, if you aren't comfortable doing it you can start to panic, which depletes your air really fast. i'm glad he made it.

@dietcokesucks The headline is very misleading. A kid in a kayak saved the business man after he had a medical emergency and rolled into the water (The man is wearing a suit. You can see rescuers removing his tie.)

@Overcoated ah ok, that would make more sense, thanks for the update. Question, you said he rolled into the water, was he sitting on the bank or something? might have been a cardio vascular episode or maybe diabetic shock huh
