This was a well organised kayaking session with safety cover readily available as you will see. There was a heart-stopping moment when the kayaker disappeared under the waterfall. There is also a clip of a kayaker going over safely making it look very easy!

  • Hi kris2610 and kayaker2435 I really appreciated the dialogue you were having re this rescue which I think was really well executed. however I have deleted your comments because I do not accept the need for unnecessary swearing particularly when youngsters may see this video. Thanks.

  • This is an updated version of the video.

  • WOw! That was close!

  • rescue dude is bad ass

  • Hey! I liked this video and added it to a small kayaking playlist. I am a "Recreational Kayaker", meaning I like something in between flat-water and white-water. In other words Class I to Class III maybe.

    I'm also interested to know where this occurred. I would guess maybe Northern England, but maybe it's (like) West-Central Wales?

    Good Job! on video and to the rescuers. It wasn't really good luck, instead I would say that is good management!

    Thanks for the upload! d:)

  • shit he was lucky

  • Love it guys... :P awsome vid

  • Yeah it was alistair in the green solo

  • Nice safety.

  • Hey guys we all experience it at some point, I hope he went back up and nailed it again. Agree with the below comment that live bait jump was keen as fuck! Love it!

  • Paul its ollie footitt btw... :L

  • @Olliepaddler
