There are many activities that seem too risky for most people. Examples that come to mind include:
Flying in one of those "little airplanes".
Riding a dirt bike.
Spelunking.
Nearly every activity has steps that can be taken to manage the risk. In this case, a PFD worn by the kayaker could save his life or at least help with the recovery. I wouldn't be kayaking at all with the water so cold but I support his right to do so.
This discussion reminds me of driving. The folks tailgating me are maniacs and the ones in front of me are slow pokes!

I'm ok with people doing stupid things. However, when you potentially put others in harms way that is where I draw the line.
