No, actually it's completely legal to kayak in all Alabama water ways and yes its extemely dangerous but it takes great skill and intelligence to accomplish this safely life is about living it to the fullest and these guy know wat the doin so don't call people stupid just cause you don't have the balls or brains they do

[@randiholt1178]

Dylon Gordan I call him incredibly stupid due to the giant boulder that sits at the base. maybe he knew about it, maybe not. we had a lot of rain and it isn't visible. And honestly I don't know how they missed it.

[@satiricalsartorial]

@@randiholt1178 that's what others said lol. Alabama has hidden treasures that are equally dangerous apparantly lol. A true trait of the South

[@PaddleGnome]

@@randiholt1178 You would be sincerely surprised at how well ww boats and the various techniques involved in waterfall paddling reduce the minimum depth required for a safe descent. You would also be surprised just how much higher water levels can pad out rocks. Boaters often visit these places at low water to check out the landing-- this was a highly calculated endeavor that no one in the sport takes lightly. He didnt just "strap on a camera" and send it...

[@lostkid6637]

robert it do go down

[@videorama2]

I am a long time kayacker and extreme sports enthusiast and am working up to this on a higher falls. It would be the ultimate thrill to do it over a waterfall that was high like Kjeragfossen in Norway. But, unfortunately without multi-million dollar equipment for absorbing the impact that would be certain death. You end up having to settle for falls that are30-60 meters/100 to 200 feet and sometimes above because the impact becomes too crushing after a certain amount of vertical acceleration,

[@effortlessproductions]

As an Alabama resident I can confirm that shit must have been scary yet thrilling. This park is beautiful, also great for mountain biking.

[@paddler110]

To anyone who doesn't kayak. They didn't just wake up, see a waterfall, and "huck" it. They made sure of exactly where they were going and was below the falls. Also, relatively speaking, It is not that tall compared to the 189 foot Palouse falls which has been successfully kayaked twice.

[@lemonjooce9840]

but it really do go down

[@dutchvanderlinde4485]

Palouse falls ain’t crap compared to Angel Falls 😆

[@trwent]

This was a TERRIBLE job by the interviewer. The two most obvious questions to ask, that were NOT asked, are (1) Are there any rocks that one might hit at the base of the falls?, and (2) How deep is the pool at the base of the falls, and is there a danger of the kayaker hitting the bottom of the pool?

[@missprimrose4132]

That is the CNN mentality!

[@ilkacobb1327]

or what to do when you get stuck under the rocks. That waterfall is notoriously dangerous, people have drowned, falling in from the sides, let alone going over.

[@randiholt1178]

yes there is a huge rock right where he is going over. I'm surprised he didn't hit it. I live in Gadsden, and we have people who have drowned there just walking the gorge, hundreds of feet from the falls itself. There was no law, because who would be stupid enough to do this. The pool normally isn't very deep maybe 10 to 12 feet, but we had a lot of rain when he did this.

[@patpaddles]

hes a professional kayaker. They scout the rapids, access the risk, and if all of that goes well.... SEND THAT SHIT

I have no clue what the appeal is of that kind of kayaking. How do you or anyone know what kind of rocks (or perhaps lack of rocks) are at the bottom of the falls?? How do you know you're not going to get trapped in some crazy current or pool and be drowned under the water's weight and pull??

[@zone4garlicfarm]

Whitewater paddllers learn to read the rapids and know where the current will push them from any point on the river. These kayakers scouted the falls at lower flows and mapped their route. Then they waited until the water was at the right level.
