I could just feature myself in this thing and I finally get comfy and the water sounds so nice and everything and all of the sudden, I gotta pee.  Now for a guy, no biggie, well maybe.  You can't stand up in it.  It's going to be inconvenient.

The other thought was not paying attention to where this thing is going while sleeping in it and finding out you are stuck to a barge 100 miles from camp in the morning.  That uber ride is gonna be expensive.

And John has it right for my neck of the woods anyway.  Gators would look at this as people in a Chinese take out carton.

It would be great for the lakes, maybe not the Great Lakes, but speaking as someone who dozed off tubing and had a LONG walk home through the woods barefoot in a bathing suit. Yeah, I'd keep it to use on a lake.

This very thing happened here a Lake Powell a while back. A woman from Colorado had her boy friend bring her to her family get together on a remote part of the lake in his boat. Last night they got in a fight and she took her air matress and floated off to sleep. Next morning she woke up and everyone was gone! Seems her family thought she was with her boy friend and her boy friend thought she was with them! Three days later she got picked up dehydrated and burned badly.
