[QUOTE="ppine, post: 467117, member: 22555"] It is quite common now for kayakers to go over some very high waterfalls. Some rafters think it is a good idea. I have never understood the attraction. There is a perfect keeper hydraulic at the base of a steep waterfall. The people in the video probably went deep enough to be flushed out the bottom of it. I have swum one really bad hydraulic, Tunnel Chute a class V rapid on the North Fork of the American River. Even with a lifejacket with 30 pounds of bouyancy it got very dark and very cold for awhile before I rocketed to the surface and started puking water. Don't let bad planning or bad judegement put you in serious jeopardy. [/QUOTE]
