Solo sailors (and not so solo) should also be wearing a harness when
on deck, too.

I remember reading that over 1/2 of male drowing victims had blood

Falling in while underway:
I have heard that some long distance solo sailors throw a floating
line overboard. Knotted every 2 feet, big enough knots so your feet
can use them as a support when climbing back towards the boat (maybe
an oyster knot). The rope is several hundred feet long and ends in a
fender, Remember that at 6 kn, you are traveling about 10 feet every
second. After falling overboard, you have about 15 seconds to swim
to the rope! At 12 kn the boat will hopefully broach without someone
at the helm, because it will be 200 feet away at 10 seconds
