Yes, the thing all ten drownings have in common is none of them were wearing a PFD.

A bit off topic, but I have read that falling in the water wearing waders won't cause you to sink. The reason being that when water is both on the inside and the outside of your waders, the weight of the water inside your waders is cancelled out.
When you go to climb out of the water, then the weight of the water will be important.
Here's a Video I found about it. Apparently heavy rubber waders will weight you down, but not because of the water. It's just because they're heavy.
