Yep, on a river PFD is on period. I've had the privilege of ping-ponging off rocks after eating it in a section of rapids. Got stuck in a few back-washing hydraulics that cycle you back under until I finally got spit out into an eddy pool. Ghost white and in shock I dragged myself to the bank. Took a long while to get my wits about me. No PFD, good chance I may have been DOA.
