No, but if you use a twist-tie, you can fasten the water tube and the avalung together -- and if after the slide has settled and you are buried, you can still move your head 3 degrees to each side -- you will be able to suck both water and air. If not, prepare for a parched wait.Yea....Aspiration is bad...Although you probably could rig them together, it is probably worth noting that one shoulder strap is equipped with the avalang and the other is meant to hold the tubing into your hydration bladder.
