On the original subject: no, i don't think I'd ever take my BA off if
stuck in a hole.

Nor me... I would rather be on top of the water than underneath. You never
know if you are going to go down and flush through, or down and stuck
somewhere (undercut, double stopper).

Additionally - if I do get out of the stopper, I now want my buoyancy aid
to help me as I tackle the next stages of the river.

I doubt that if a stopper was that meaty then taking your BA off would make
a massive difference anyway. Someone else may know better but i believe the
bouyancy figures quoted are for static pressure. The bouyancy figure for a
foaming stoper would i imagine be somewhat lower. Perhaps thats why i can
never roll as well in the damn things ;-).
