DANGER (drowning)

[pirate paul]

Wellies fill up with water if you fall in.

 

THEY BECOME SO HEAVY when full of water that it is very hard to swim.

 

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THEM OFF while in the water because a vaccum ( excuse spelling ) forms under the foot.

Don't eat yellow snow!

[Rick-n-Jo]

actually, they're no heavier, while you are still in the water. they only feel heavy once you've got out.

eureka!

well at least mine do...

So, is there a story behind this revelation?

[saltysplash]

Some form of float switch activated bilge pump in each wellie may be in order, mind you the battery pack might be a bit cumbersome

Now you're just being silly. Every one knows that you use a wind-gennie for welly bilge!

Ive found a full roll of gaffer tape round the tops of each welly works, pulls the hairs off yer legs when you try to take them off tho

I was trying to be innovative, one has to consider flooding wellies while being becalmed in the doldrums.

Why bother, just drill holes in the soles and they are self draining, keep it simple

Nah, plug into the mains on a long lead there fine. Of course you need to fit a Galvanic Isolator and be OK with tingling sensations but hey who wouldn't enjoy that!

Waders are apparently worse for filling up

Not if you wear sling backs! preferably high heeled ones.

[sueb]

Don't bend over when wearing waders in waist high water.

I've noticed that this is also true of those old fashioned lead divers' boots. Very wise advice.
