Good point - wearing appropriate safety gear while floating rivers is important, regardless of which type of craft you are on.

Here is an excellent post by someone who is very experienced in running whitewater as a kayaker and former whitewater rafting guide who highlights the pitfalls of commonly worn by anglers inflatable PFD's and why they aren't rated for, nor intended for, whitewater use: http://forum.flybc.ca/index.php?showtopic=47801
