Lol a lot different when your in cold water and exerting energy trying to survive

Eye of god get you?

@Justin Lee That's the only rapids named Narrows on the river...

Geeze Small world! I live about 2 hours from the Yough, and paddled Ohiopyle Falls 3 days ago! Going back for an Upper Yough run Friday if you wanna join if you're still in the area. I get up to Ohiopyle a few times a month, and am going there this Friday, then continuing on to the New River Gorge Saturday and Sunday. Would love to paddle with you if you can make it! Oh and glad you're okay man, Ohiopyle Falls gets extraordinarily dangerous over the 2 foot mark because of the massive boil and area of recirculation under the main drop. That's why they will only legally let you run it if the river level is higher than 2 feet, too much risk in the event of a botched line for the park to consider loosening regulations. Don't really blame them either, counting your experience, I know at least 4 people now who have had super close calls/nearly drowned after failing to clear the boil at the bottom and being pulled back in. The fact that a raft went over it by mistake 2 years ago at 6+ feet without anyone drowning is a literal miracle...

You actually were calm and composed enough during a beatdown to hypothesize that blowing air into your drysuit would give you the buoyancy you needed to get out of the hole, and then actually put the plan into effect and attempt it? Dude... I'll paddle with you anyday.

More like stuffed so far under that the world went dark. . . . ( that's some big fear )

@@feelegoode2067 No doubt.

You sound like you actually know the area. Can you explain what went specifically went wrong? It's a bit hard to tell, but it looks to me like he went deep on the landing, successfully rolled, and then everything went to hell. Skirt implosion, or lost paddle or something? Then I'm guessing the current pushed him deep, and he ended up under the undercut river banks. That was my personal theory since there wasn't really much information on the original upload, but I would be really interested to hear some more about the specific waterfall, and what happened if you're familiar with it!

Youre pretty much right. He went deep under and his skirt imploded and he got sucked deep into it. He managed to get out fine thought congrats to him

Its the "Rio Hollin" according to his Facebook profile

I believe its called the "Rio Hollin"

Yup... Straight into the Subway chute of The Fingers from a botched Grace Under Pressure drop right? Absolutely brutal man... Shannon's accident was the definition of a tragedy.

@Dan Trebune No, she unfortunately died on Potamac. It was just a similar situation.

@@tankmaster1018 when I was doing a kayak like that and fall off I couldn't touch the ground I'll keep going lucky I had help

Almost forever dark.

I think he knows that...

I included his name in the title of the video and said it was from his Facebook page in the description. I'll find it again and add the link to the video description. I'm sorry man, I just reposted it because it wasn't on UKposts and only on Facebook. I always ask permission before I post someones Facebook video on UKposts, and my channel isn't monetized so I don't profit off it. I just post stuff that I think was cool and I want other people to be able to see. All the other videos besides this and the 2 Ben Marr videos are original content. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding dude Edit: Just checked out your channel too dude and you have some really cool stuff. I subscribed! Have a good night man, hope to see more from ya!

@@tankmaster1018 damn you are nice

You can say that again... Same thing with skiing or snowboarding. Anytime you want a video that shows perspective and size the way that the human eye would process it, you can't have it filmed on anything even resembling a fisheye lens. The fisheye is great for giving a GoPro a massive field of view, but the fact that the lens is a globe shape means that everything is distorted and compressed to make up for the massive FOV. So basically any ski slope or hill will look almost flat, even expert runs. With kayaking, I've actually had a couple different friends get into serious trouble because they thought they could easily paddle the rapids I showed them video from, and were completely shocked and horrified when they saw the same rapid in real life. GoPros are great, but they will get you into big trouble if you don't understand how it distorts images and video.

@@tankmaster1018 your like completely spot on man. Sucks you gotta do something over the top for it to look good.

I can assure you that we know the risks. Our sport is safer than driving a car, that's the most dangerous thing that most people do and don't even know it...

@@michaelhill56 Calculated risk, but kinda scary math.

@@k9er233 If I ever start a band, thats gonna be our name! "Scary Math" Lmfao

@@tankmaster1018 Perfect!
