Round donut tubes would appear to be the most tip proof because of uniform buoyancy all around and hanging legs serving like a sailboat keel. The higher up above the water you go without increases in length AND width the more likely the tip over, seems to me.
What about tipping due to rough water? Like when caught by surprise in bad weather? Guess that's one of the several reasons I wear an inflatable life jacket. The few times this has happened to me I have been blown to a distant shore. Making my way back was a lot easier with the on board wheels.
Rapids and surf might potentially cause tip over but are normally easier to avoid. My closest tip over call has been in a small pontoon riding through a rapids I underestimated.
