Ever wonder what it would be like to drop into the bus sized hole in Lava on the Grand Canyon. This should give you a good idea. What was this guy thinking!? He wasn't even rowing!

  • What level was this running? I ran it once a long time ago at 45000 cfs. Saw one guy I knew as Kamakazie Ken, (who later died in a low head damn in Long Island) go right down the mouth of it in a kayak. He did survive, but without his helmet, sprayskirt, paddle, glasses , and the only reason he still had his life jacket on was he covered it in a long sleeve T-shirt with a Japan Rising Sun on it. All rafts ran well left. I caught the left side of the big one and was one happy screaming dude.

  • @polarhumenn Not sure what the level was on that trip. I did it a couple of years later at 20,000 CFS and it seemed about the same. AT 45000 you must have had quite a ride. I've heard that at those levels, left is the only way.

  • where did they go? are they alive?!?

  • @CommonDisaster97 I wasn't on this trip myself, but the perople who were assured me that all the boaters came out OK. They were sucked to the bottom early on and spat out downstream. Scary, but one way out of a hole. This hole is big enough that that is proabably the only way out.

    what the fuck do you expect her to do?

    You want her to jump in and rescue everyone? As another guy said, there is nothing anyone on shore can do in a situation like this. Keep in mind that phones dont work well in canyons.

  • That's not lava! That's Willy Wonka's Chocolate river!

  • @kertokmb
