A recent ISU graduate's life was snuffed out in Boone Iowa July 9th, 2006, after tubing over a low head dam. These dams appear innocuous, but are in fact deadly. Don't underestimate the power of the currents below a low head dam.
Thanks for this video! I've seen this happen before and will now send this to families of both girl & boy scout troop members so they will learn before they drown.
The one "purpose" people use low head dams for is the fact that they allow the water to get air, and freshen.
