Drive safe! That's where most of us are at risk day to day.

Luckily I didn't get knocked out and made it to shore, but it was definitely a learning experience. I could've very easily been a nominee in this year's Darwin Awards.

nuff said: I'll continue to boat solo, but pick my spots very carefully - after all - I can exit the boat (even if my roll fails) and I make sure that if I do swim, it is an easy safe swim
again - I do that by carefully selecting what sections of what rivers and at what levels to run
kayaking can be as safe as taking a bath or driving a car - or it can be as dangerous as playing with a bunch of crocks in a swamp - its all up to what you choose to run
Until you have spent time involved in stuff like this its super easy to underestimate the amount of saftey that is already set by just having a reliable crew with you.

simple as that.
How did he manage to get out?!?
I knock 3 times on my table. For me AND FOR YOU in in the future.
Because WW-Paddling is the most fucking best sport in the world!
a cousin of my mother died kayaking, in the north of Ireland way before I was born, because she had flipped over and hit her head in a rock under the water which rendered her unconscious and she drowned shortly after.
kayaking scares the bejesus out of me, and this video just reinforces why.
Lol calm down, how about YOU read before you type; does "grow up" mean buy a plastic tube and go to the most dangerous river and risk your life and risk your parent's heart break in order to have some fun with the bros. How about you grow the fuck up, or not, maybe just follow the leader and die in a river.
Untrue, my palms were def sweaty. And where are your brilliant comments that help the YT community? All I see is you hating on my comment.
Lol don't get mad, you don't have to put people down. It's not like I said; 'this guy is a fucking idiot for floating down a river in a plastic tube, and if you think it's inspirational than maybe you're as dumb as he is'.
Eh les gars, c'est bon, faut arrêter les conneries là..!
Eh les gars, c'est bon, faut arrêter les conneries là..!
it in the wilderness, the same way you see them abandon bodies and sports garbage on Mt. Everest., etc.?
These are pros, so you can assume it's expensive gear
he believed his friend just died.
Fuck you.
just relatinG man - tool - animal$ ^ ^
arsehole.
and it wont have been a big helicopter
The world is poisoned with people that put others down and people that discriminate and reject people for who they are! The world is not about judging people on how many followers they have on instagram ir how big their snapchat score is, the world is about accepting people for who they are black or white it doesn't matter everyone is equal. I'm tired of waking up in the morning and hearing about terrorist attacks and people killing themselves because of bullying i. Sick and tired of it!
I wrote this my self is it good?
Looked like he was lost.
I've just started kayaking and LOVE IT
I hope your friend doesn't let this stop him from the paddle.
God bless
Cheers!
The brothers that I've lost were Will Hagood; he died from a pin on the Lower Toulumne in 1999 and Paul Horner; he was pinned on the Oyacachi River in Ecuador in 2002.

Happy that the guy made it
The style of the spray skirt is 100% irrelevant. Another example since you aren't understanding is this: stick a glass bottle in your mouth and suck - NO air will come out since no air can go in to displace the air leaving the bottle. If you were able to suck hard enough to remove air, the glass bottle would implode and shatter. The same principle applies to an inverted kayak. No air can be sucked out of it period. This is science. FACT, not opinion. I literally tested it out and end of debate...
sprayskirt imploding with the force of my inhalation. The problem is
the vacuum effect of a solid hulled boat. There is no air intake so you
cannot breathe air OUT of the boat. Just like if you put a 2 liter of
pop in your mouth and suck, the 2-liter plastic jug will implode. The
vacuum pulls in on the walls since there is no way for air to displace
the volume of air you are sucking out. If you poke a hole in the
2-liter and suck, you are good. Same applies to kayak. If you suck in
while under water, the kayak would have to implode for you to get any
air out of it because you cannot suck all the air out of it without
creating a vacuum which would crush the boat. Therefore, the only way
it would work is if you had an air intake via a hole in the bottom of
the kayak.
Keep believing the global warming myth you useful idiot. Why don't you go look at IPCC's own predications over the last 10 years and tell which one came true?
I believe these people many times end up saving their own lives by pursuing these dreams, rather than becoming suicidal from the dull life that society has intended to mold us into.
The main point is that both these incidents happened in class 2-3, a relatively easy rapid to navigate and not to scary looking. It only takes a moment for things to get out of hand. When on the river, always be vigilant, always know your surroundings and limitations, never remove your PFD and never, ever underestimate the forces of nature.
I agree completely. I've never done any white water stuff, but I fish the Missouri river regularly and have been out there in floods, and to be perfectly honest it scares the shit out of me. I've seen a very buoyant tree that was probably 80 feet long with roots sticking 6 feet above the water floating along, and then out of nowhere get sucked under. It reappeared a few minutes later a couple hundred yards down stream. Water is no joke.
this is a great group of paddlers
they are all my favorite kayakers
and they all go together ( priceless )
great video ,sketchy pin ,great outcome
