This may be a little extreme, but I think the basic premise of this statement is true. Most of the swims I have witnessed, talked to others about, read about and experienced myself, all could have been avoided with more time and concentration dedicated to self-rescue in the boat by rolling. The swims were worse than the consequences of staying in their boats and continuing to try to roll.
People tend to panic and jump out of the fry pan into the fire.
I recommend that you stay in your boat and try rolling again, even if you roll a bit to get a breath of air. You may avoid a swim. You may wind up in trouble attempting a foolish rescue. Maybe, I don't know. But I do like swinging high sometimes.
