I’d just finished filming a mountaineering day, when I came across a group of paddlers by the foot of Ben Nevis. They were dropping in on the 20ft Lower Falls. Swollen with the recent rains, it was powerful and things didn’t go as planned for the first paddler.

Hello. Glad it turned out ok in the end. I work for a video licensing organisation called Newsflare and it would be great to talk to you about licensing this footage. Please drop me an email and we can talk more. kenneth[dot]gawne[at]newsflare[dot]com
Haha fucking newbies.
i would never even dare to try that yet.

how is this even remotely a near-death accident… good thing this knucklehead wasn't running anything big
this guy is clearly inexperienced and trying something way out of his league
If you can`t do the lead in maybe you should not be running the drop.
Is a miracle that he is alive
I nearly ran this a few months ago solo, looks such a sick drop. instead we cooked up tea and camped there the night, much less dangerous
Learn to roll, then learn to nail to your lines better.
I lol'd
stupid people why you do that
I thought the Boat hung longer before it fell
so the Boat could've hurt him but it would likely have only busted his nose or teeth
painful not deadly
there wasn't a thing near death about that, considering when he flipped what happened was virtually the best possible outcome. getting pinned at the top in the shallows, which easily could've happened would have been truly life threatening
Looks quite painful. Kayaking remains quite dangerous if you're unlucky and/or react wrong. I hope that he has survived.
He already lost patience when he stopped at the stone. Then he let his boat lean on the wrong side. I'm quite confused why he wasn't able to do the roll. His comerade didn't even react a bit. It doesn't look really professional and thoughtful. I usually take my short playboat but at this stony fall even I would have take my best Creeker and not a riverrunner.
Do you have the original vid? From what I remember when it first came out the dude filming was hilarious.
Gee, Why go there if u can't do shit in kayak?
Hi there, I'm a researcher for The Weather Channel in the US interested in licensing your footage for a 5 minute segment on kayaking accidents. Please do let me know the best email / phone # at which to reach you to discuss further.
Thank you,
