I have heard the reports of air remaining in chambers and have seen the video.
But, in my Brothers case, he was panicing and trashing. By the time he got to shore, the back rest was all that was still inflated. My brother is at least 230, that backrest was of little help, not to mention all his gear in the bags was now underwater also.
Which does bring up a good point.....get a tube for your size!
I agree, that the Hypothermia is the killer.
