Not aimed at anyone in particular: All plans and equipment are
completely worthless without regular testing and practice. What you
think is being prepared may be a fantasy that will lead to a
well-planned failure. You need to find out by at least trying and using
everything while conditions are mild, and you are not injured. You may
shock yourself. Can you reach into that pocket with whichever hand was
not crushed? Can you really find someone that has fallen overboard? Can
you get back on the boat while it is moving? Don't kid yourself. Find
out! The real statistics for surviving a fall overboard are very grim.
Anecdotes are not data.

My spinlock deck vest has a tethered cutter in a dedicated pocket as
standard equipment. Hopefully one would remember it in a panic.
My salus coastal life jacket has big pockets that contain a tethered
folding knife, and a small flashlight.
Both are quite well designed imo.
