you shouldn' t fear death, you should just fear never having lived in the first place

Holy Crap - can you say 1995 boating gear? This is an old video, the gorge has been run since then to by kayakers with better boats who ran almost the entire gorge. Old ass videos of kayaking are fun to watch though, looking like they have wiffle ball helmets and all.

We have a saying in Whitewater "It is always better to have wished you ran a rapid then to wish you hadn't", unfortunately he should have been smarter in the moment and had not run the rapid, reason being, if the rapid is that dangerous and you can't set reasonable safety, you don't run it period no questions asked, no rapid anywhere is worth your life, and I've paddled on 3 continents.

@rexel124 Let me know how that works out for you.

One of the number one rules in extreme sports is having a healthy fear. The point is to wake up the next day an be able to push your fear to the next level and be able to do it again. Fear death and you might just live to LIVE again the next day.

There's a similar gorge that's like that in Northern BC called the Grand Canyon Of The Stikine. The government says it is unnavigable by all watercraft, but there have been crazy daredevils who have run it in the past. Fortunately no one has died yet, but there were a couple close calls...

You people are stupid as fuck. I know Tom who was on that trip. He can hardly speak of that day without crying. Him, Jamie, and Roger portaged but Doug wanted to run it. They did set up safety but where they were was the only available place. Had he swam out of the boat he would of been carried downstream into a second even larger hole. Surely would of died. In that situation the river was more powerful than he could handle. He had supplies in his boat that made him slower and made it harder fo
