Is easy enough to lose balance and slip off a stand-up paddle board and get smacked on the board or on a rock in shallow water or on a dock or something.

Agreed on the paddle boards, ridiculous that some don't wear them. We have one and all wear a PFD while on it. Like small sailboats, you have no time to put on a PFD before it's too late
