Keep your hat
I'm not sure if this works but it happened to my friend.
He was on shifting sand land trying to get all the red coins, so he had the wing cap on.
The bird came down at him and he did a flip in the water.
Of course it didn't look like he had lost his hat because of the wing cap.
But when the cap fadded away he still had his hat!!
