Here's just a few:
1) Poor fuel planning and continuing on with low fuel from Michigan

2) Water crossing
3) No floatation devices



If he had pants on, he had floatation gear. Get someone to show you how
to knot
the legs, then inflate the pants by swinging it over your head from above
and
behind you to in front of you in one swift movement. The trapped air will
then
hold you up for quite a while like water wings.... and they can always be
reinflated ad nauseum.

His biggest risk was hypothermia. If he'd only had a light.... I always
carry
a waterproof light with me in my car and when I fly. Always.

At this time of the year neither would have done much good. He probably had
15 minutes at best.
