That's why they have the clips on the top like farmer john pants unclip them and slip them off.

Actually it isn't a myth I knew a guy that drown in a pair. A wave knocked him down and then pulled him out and under another wave no one got to him in time. If your ready to clip them should you do over then no problem but be careful.
