I will admit peeing may be an issue. But for all you deep water rafters

Done this many times in deeper water off our docks. It's almost like being weightless. Not the most noble look jumping off the dock though!

Can't believe there is an article about this! I can show pictures that are more than 15 years old of my kids doing this. Kids on our lake have been doing it forever (minus the beer of course). Adults too.

Default Yup

Been doing it for years. Great for drinking beer, and best utilized in a lake - not really necessary in a pool, yes?

Just catching up during a brief break in my extended travels schedule ---- (needed a Winni-com Fix )

Sorry RattleTrap -- gotta go with all the others, this form of "floating" is far from new or novel !!
