  1. Wouldn't it help to have an airbag similar to ARVA airbags for avalanches ? Or a floating rope that you'd tie around your waist (or in the back or whatever) and that could easily be released in case of such an emergency for the others to pull on it and get you out of it without risking their own lives ? Or a link to your kayak similar to jetskies ? The others could pull on the kayak to get you out.

  2. Heinous rescue vid from the no boof paddle throw like into 5 ropes thrown into a hole with 2 boaters, to paddling back into the hole followed by a godamn live bait, Wild West of kayaking but someone had to figure out how to do rescues safely at the end of the day, the paddle throw no boof is wild to me on a hole like that still tho, and to all the comments who said the guy who paddled into the hole is brave, that is the exact opposite of how u rescue someone out of that situation

  3. The red helmet guy throw away the paddle twice. First on the begining of the video, he got out and on the second time he got caught. But for what purpose he throw it away?

  4. I have nothing to do with kayaking, but am I the only one who thinks that the first guy was very lucky that the second guy didn't knock him out with his kayak… and why didn't anyone give any warning signals.

  5. Why would you kayak in this location? I assume these were amateurs who have never heard of the dangers of hydraulic effects of low-head dams. Truly stupid and dangerous thing to do, glad they were all lucky enough to survive.
