I've had it happen about three times. Once, it was a small sabbat (sp) sailboat, with some boy scouts on board. It ripped the gun from my hands, and caught the flopper on my hand. Luckily, it only left a small cut. But when the gun got wrapped up in the kelp, it capsized their boat. I swam over to make sure they were ok, and they were, no harm to my float line, and I retrieved all my gear. The other two times were by a power boat, and luckily, the float line just wrapped around the front of the outboard, and missed getting cut by the prop by about 1/2". Retrieved all my gear again. I had a buddy whose line, gun and float were all taken by a boat, and were never seen again. About $2500 worth of gear. He was less than pleased.
