They shouldn’t get a fine, they should get a paycheck

What's dangerous is anything that goes against the norm. Their brains can't fathom anything that they say is not allowed. I say AWESOME 👍. That's the true American spirit. Adventure first and be dam--- the consequences. Thanks for coming to our state guys 👍👍 hello from Kentucky mountains

They are called "Professional Kayakers" for a reason.. great drop but I understand why they Gotta pay for that ride ... They loved it !! lol

No worries... Red bull played their fine.

If they wanna discourage just anyone from doing it, then they need to up that fine. 🤣 But as for professionals, if they wanna do it then see about obtaining a permit but absolutely ridiculous that they have to.

The rules needs to change. These men are world class elite athletes and they have a right to be there.

I think they should leave them alone. they know what they are doing....what's the big deal....someone may sue I guess.......that place gives me the creeps anyway. it's chock full of bad mojo.

I agree the park rangers shouldn't have a right to completely block access to the falls.
