Hey Frank, glad you took the time to practice.

Now imagine that you are out in:
Winter time
Waders and heavier clothing
A full bait tank
Rods and leashes all over the place.

I did this in the pool (no, you can't use it). It was very difficult to flip theyak over with the rods and tank.

I now always have a rope tied to one of the side handles. In the event you need to turn over your kayak, you just throw the rope over and pull, HUGE help.
