Pay up your life insurance if you intend to float tube moving water. NOT wise, don't do it.

I have a tendency to be extra conservative, after having seen pontoons and even drift boats get into trouble. Float tubes just don't have the mobility to keep out of trouble. You just can't paddle fast enough. And if you get in trouble, they dramatically reduce your mobility to get back out of trouble.
