Ok, First off below, yes it was stupid we put in below the dam...but There were three of us who knew the route well; and we cant afford the $900 Kayaks. And the river gods? Her dad pushed her out...and if you know newtons third law of motion (with every action there is an equal and opposite reaction), that is how they both are alive today. I was the one who told everyone we were too close to the dam. What happened was a complete freak accident. You showed up after everything was over and just waiting for the S&R. It was unfortunate, yes. but accidents happen. I knew the water was going to be circulating. I know what dams do by recirculating water. We had just been told what to do in that situation. I want to thank you though for retrieving our kayaks, but you just have some points wrong. Oh and we did have helmets we took them off while portaging
