This is a service provided to those needing to both cross the river and keep clothes dry.

If the bag had gotten away from the guy it probably would have floated downstream for possibly days until snagging. Then when someone would finally find it they would say lokk here someone threw away a perfectly good human in a trash bag.
Another scenario, the bag gets away the person inside has to rip their way out and swim across. When they finally locate the guy to lost his grip the person would say YOU HAD ONE JOB now look at what you've done my clothes and make up are ruined

An old friend did something similar for a local 'raft race' down a shallow creek; about 8 ft on a side cube, clearish plastic sheet that he heatwelded together. Inflated it, climbed inside and then had 2 wooden boards, one inside & one outside the opening, screwed together to clamp it closed. As a Mech. Eng. student he even calculated air volume inside and his respiration rate to make sure he had enough air/oxygen.

Intent was to 'walk' the cube down the river. The reality of his feet being small-area high-mass point loads in the flexible plastic made the trip less practical than he'd thought it would be. But it was one of the most creative rafts of that year!!
