She started at 21 and did this at 23...very irresponsible!!! She was not very experienced at all.

[@newyardleysinclair9960]

R.I.P. (I am wild adventure)

[@greenhouse326]

Things happen. You can be very experienced and still unintentionally need to swim out of your kayak, which can put you at risk. There are other videos detailing what happened before she went into this feature called Subway. Of course she knew to try to avoid it but things can still happen. It's tragic. Some people who know absolutely nothing about whitewater kayaking trying to comment on it. Gtfo

The one thing she was told was to not go down that chute, very experienced.......

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Things go wrong. At least she had Jesus.

She had only been kayaking for a couple of years. She was not very experienced. I have been kayaking my whole life and any experienced kayakers knows not to go kayaking (Especially in New territory) by yourself. She was from a town i used to live in in NC and everyone says she was "So good" but even her old teachers said she didn't have much experience. She was dumb and paid the ultimate price. You can only be so stupid so many times.

Zoe Drake dang... all that for someone who passed away and you didn’t even know? I’d think she stole your dog the way you’re speaking of her... smh.

[@hamilt55467]

Jesus obviously cared less

[@MaynardFreek]

@@hamilt55467 I’m completely amazed at idiots trusting a non existing being to save them from their own stupidity
