Rivers are a different risk, since the current is the risk rather than just the cold. Also, that current can fill up waders and drag you along in a way that just won't happen if you dump it in the kelp or the surf.
Wintertime, with a belt and PFD, waders are an awesome way to go. Summertime I usually just roll in board shorts and water sandals....but I drive a PA-14. Less swamp ass.
