Safety

Crazy stories. Like the woman who couldn't swim, but rented a canoe, and chose not wear her PFD. What could go wrong? And then instead of paying attention to where she was going, she was chatting on her cell phone when she ran into a snag...


Yes, read these sad reports, so that you can be on the lookout for yourself, and others.

American Whitewater's semi-annual accident summary is now online. Read it. It's a sobering reminder that "stuff" happens, even on quiet water. (Half the fatalities were on Class II water, or lower!)
