Ta avaler une bonne tasse…et presque la tasse aussi!! Beau vidéo 😎

After such an incident, I would not get into the kayak. You need wisdom and great respect for water!

[@johnhenry4389]

Like a nightmare, in which every time you look at the base of the waterfall it's getting closer.

Daaaaaaang!!! Brother went deeeeeeeep!!! Happy he’s ok. I wonder if he reset and sent it 😮

[@Pinhead101]

Wicked swallowed some water

[@isaiah9046]

Mad respect for that fight, I've been playing in like a 1 metre version of that waterfull and it still beats me up, I cannot image how powerful that would feel on the body.

[@wernerxytra6151]

I have no respect. This weakling couldn't even swim to the side and made no effort. He's a wuss....and I'm not joking. He doesn't belong in a river.

[@isaiah9046]

@@wernerxytra6151 haha wtf you on about he literally inhaled so much water and was completely destroyed so ofc it's hard to swim across

Salut, ancien kayakiste ici, ca doit faire 30 ans la derniere fois que j'ai fait la Rouge. Est-ce que c'est la derniere chute? Y avais un passe sur la derniere chute juste a droite, une grosse roche, on passait a droite de la roche. La le gars a passe en plein milieu. Etes vous rendu a faire les chute maintenant? Y avais des histoires qu'un gars de rafting avais fait la chute, dans le temps. En tout cas Mathieu a bu une tasse. J'espere qu'il a continue a faire du kayak Merci

C'est la 5ème, la dernière quand tu fais le portage, en amont du saut de phoque.

[@paulbjork5976]

Did you recover the gear ?

[@danielmccay7130]

If these videos are really about "creating discussions" then it would be helpful to have "victims" submit a basic statement about the video. What was the plan? What broke down? How could you have avoided this? Without the context, it's just a video of a person blowing an eddy, falling into a waterfall sideways, failing to roll, and almost drowning.

[@georgevids42]

If that was the case a lot of people would be too embarrassed to put their own face &/or voice on a beatering video & we'd miss out on an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others. But your point is valid, maybe a replay with a breakdown from a skilled paddler, informed by some extra context from the victim, like a reversal of Seth Ashworth's excellent "crush the line" videos.

[@astrally111]

you can avoid it by not going off the fall sideways.

Water in the lungs?
