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.

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.
