However, my point was simply to take issue with the OP's assertion
that "survival rate after ditching is very low". The stats simply
don't back this up. Sure we can always find exceptional situations
that are almost guaranteed to be fatal, but unless the OP clarifies
otherwise, this statement was nothing more than repeating an OWT.
Ditching is quite survivable.

The OP's assertion had nothing to do with the ditching.

Ah. I must have been confused by the "after ditching" part...

If either of you have stats to the contrary - even if they're specific to
Lake Michigan, I'm interested.
