Haha I love the "panic" drills where the person swimming deliberately tries to flip the person helping. If I was the "victim" in that rescue drill, I would immediately grab onto and pull the grab loop of the kayaker trying to rescue me, since I've seen that happen numerous times for real.

[@markstevens2888]

Good gravy. Glad nobody got hurt. Run some slalom. Take some lessons. It's called boat control.

[@kiba3x]

Kayaking is basically a rescue situations route.

[@mariarohmer2374]

Really great footage. Thanks!

[@philipoakley5498]

Worth noting how the 2nd victim in the pin tried to become the rescuer ("I'm alright", right?). Always worth trying a few calming exercises, to make sure it's a team effort. There's plenty of other small learning points that could be noted for educational purposes, but glad everyone got out safe!

Cool!

Bedankt!

[@abelzoni2138]

Why didnt the guy in the pinned pinned get out of his kayak?

[@aaronjohnstone2800]

I miss old life

[@MandyOnderwater]

Haha surprised me to hear Dutch :)

[@sinist3r723]

Rescue tether seems like the logical name, but Cow Tail works... hah

[@brennoprakken]

never heard of rescua tether, i gues we've been calling this item a goofy name haha

[@daz989]

I think it’s a European name we call it a cow tail here in Ireland aswell

[@pauldavies5655]

some one drown that american fella -----lol,

[@blues-indianer8667]

Don't understand, why the paddler in the orange kayak took the same wrong line than the already pinned guy in the blue boat??? He was far away enough to check the situation and is running headless in the same desaster?! It should be known, that this section is to be taken in the right... but main thing is to wear a cool helmet and cry for rope (aka William Nealy "Whitewater tales of terror") ;-))) This Eric should become a loudspeaker for Bruce Willis movies!

[@saltyw1]

Bad ass!

[@juicyjkayak3540]

Lol when you can’t handle little water...have to stay one calm

Brenno this guy seems to be using your content, might report a copyright infringement. Look up "Kayaker Stuck in a Sieve with Another Kayaker"

Sinist3r thanks a lot! Indeed the guy is just "stealing" content without permission...

[@adamatch9624]

@@brennoprakken what’s he on about?

[@denisrailey777]

Bloody hell not with me. Disappointed with rescue efforts.

[@hanswurst1195]

Care to elaborate? From my point of view, I would say they handled the situation quite alright. But I'd be happy to learn from your insights on how to do it better

[@chicklechives]

With you on this. That's a lot of rope and hassle from a little rock sieve, maybe think about the grade. To get a bit wedged on a rock and end up with 3 pins, ropes, chucking paddles and someone swimming to shore suggests folk aren't paying attention or reading the river.

[@denisrailey777]

Learn to steer & lean your kayak before tackling these rivers.

[@MaartenvanNoorden]

maybe share some of yours, so that we can all learn from the guru?
