| Ignorance can be a blessing sometimes with fear. I would have liked to see how he got himself out of there. |

I want to say that was funny, "thanks Dan for sharing". Instead, I am confused... what does one make of that?

I don't really know. I was pretty blown away by the guy's luck. I'd say in 9 out of 10 instances, this would have turned out differently. I just thought I would share with my people. ------------- If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Daniel Patrinellis 360.434.4616 |

| My major take away from this is that the bow of my kayak would be way cooler if it had a cup holder... |

Interestingly, they could have gone and run a pretty sweet waterfall further upriver that looks like it's pretty safe:

Article says he needed a couple stitches....I understand he needed more like 78 stitches.
Lucky is an understatement... |

Damn. That's no joke.
On the other hand, I've seen Rob get 100 stitches just for fun. It's all relative. ------------- If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Daniel Patrinellis 360.434.4616 |
