Dave,
I wear my Stearns inflatable when pontooning. However, I wear it under my fishing vest because the pfd has to be strapped down tight to work properly, and that just won't cut it on top of the vest (which I never, ever, zip up).
I do not wear my pfd when tubing. My tube has two chambers, and there's no way I can imagine both chambers explosively decompressing at the same time, given the fact I'm just paddling around a lake. I wonder if anyone has ever experienced that.
If I fall out of my float tube, I deserve to drown.
Years ago I took my partially inflated tube up the hill to fish. By the time I got to the lake the inner tube (yep, that long ago) had expanded and ripped out about a third of the stitching and was bulging out obscenely. I fished in it anyway, to no ill-effect; except for a slight case of nerves every time a couple more stitches would pop out.
