I was wasting a bit of time at work and got to think about all the times where I've fished with someone that has turtled, flipped, took a dip, gone overboard.
Not counting the surf flipping the only time I have gone over was in the Houston Ship Channel HSC. It was memorial day and the waves were just wrong, I should not have been there. I got the boat caught in the trough of the waves and over I went. after the initial shock of being in water I'm fishing for sharks in I used the following technique. Belly, Butt, feet. First kick up the belly onto the seat of the yak. This can be hampered by radios, pliers, cameras or whatever you have strapped to your PDF. Then once your belly is on your seat roll over onto your back. Then slide your feet over the front of the boat.
The best video I have seen of this is the following:

Dangers of flipping are: being by yourself (horse is dead), panic, tiring yourself out with poor technique, gear in your way.
Relax, practice before hand, and be safe guys.
This Summer looks like a great Fishing Season!
