Manageable risk
Consider another point of view. If someone has used a kayak over and over, year after year, and not fallen in, the risk of falling in on a low-wind / no-wake day is very low. Before calling other people's actions stupid, consider the context of weather, experience, craft and history. How many have died over the last 20 years while kayaking in winter? We all take risks in our pursuit of happiness and shouldn't be so quick to impose our personal level of comfort on those willing to live closer to the edge.
