Lundbreck Falls

Running the river left line of Lundbreck Falls on the Crowsnest River near Pincher Creek, Alberta on 23 May 2010. I have misgivings about posting this considering a fellow kayaker lost his life at this very spot a few hours after this video was taken. Previously, this drop was considered relatively benign for its height (~30 feet). Rest in peace, Jaron.

Kayakers are Dean, Tom, Dave, Ben, Chris, and Adam.

The same month this video was posted, a kayaker died after shooting these falls as reported in the Calgary Sun, May 24, 2010.

@graywriter123 Actually, it was the same day and Jaron's friends are among those in the video. It was a tragic event that continues to affect us all.

@kayak2hell how did he die ..? :(

[kayak2hell]

@jhkayaker1 I wasn't there and don't know the details, but apparently he somehow became trapped behind the falls and drowned.
