When Rapid came across this reel of kayaking accidents and close calls, it underlined an important tenant of our sport: it is every paddler’s responsibility to have rescue training. As some of this difficult to watch moments show, a fun day paddling a great river can take a quick turn. Class IV and V rivers have real consequences. Be prepared and paddle with other skilled boaters trained in rescue techniques who you can count on to jump to action when it counts.
