When you're inverted (the most likely and frightening entrapment risk), down is up, and those storage thingies are on the "top" of the boat.

: That's a concern of mine as well. Since they're out of the "foot traffic
: pattern", it's less of a risk...I've done numerous wet exits, and
: have never caught a foot, a toe, anything like that. I did have a diving
: mask in there one time, and kicked it out and lost it, so the foot does
: come near the bungies...

: They're tight enough that they're not "hanging out" in a way to
: catch something, but since they're interconnected, they really stretch a
: long way, which would probably release anything that did get caught.

: Wearing footwear that is close-fitting makes a big difference in minimizing
: your risk of entrapment/entanglement.
