: I jumped off a 30' cliff this weekend while wearing it, and swam all
: weekend--it floats fine. No signs of damage from the fall!

Did you say the flotation is 25 lbs? With that much you'll never have to worry about rolling, you'll be bobbing around on the surface, all you'll have to do is a sculling brace and up you come. Actually for even more flotation, as you consume water from the water bag, force air back into the water bag for 2 or 3 lbs more while submerged.

How is the fabric sack for the water bag attached
