Essential skills for river running.

Not that these guys have them, but there is some humor in their mistakes even though in a couple places they are closer to serious trouble than they seem to realize.

I'm just amazed that the thong was cotton. They should know better to wear cotton in weather that cold. :roll:

These guys make so many mistakes it's a wonder that there still alive. My eyes burn just from watching this. I think they make a basic mistake every 5-10 seconds. yeah that's right.... go after the kayak first even though the kayaker is pinned under the bridge :roll: holly pinned kayaker Batman! :shock:

Yes, that cotton thong is a no-no in sooooo many ways! :roll:

P.S. I wear a neoprene thong :lol: ... safety first in cold water!

What a bunch of F#%$tards.

But it is entertaining to watch, and only 5 people had to die to make it... so its not a total loss. :lol:

I've been thinking about hitting some of the little rivers around here this spring if we ever get some rain. Im thinking it'd be alittle similar to that one, minus the water falls, but I wonder how big a difference being sober would make it.
