Also sometimes its better not to throw away your paddles when youre going down a big waterfall. You might need them when your gettin your arse handed to ya!

Also for those learning to roll:

This was disscussed on playak.com and other places it does not make for pleasant viewing be warned ahead of time. Yes throwing away the paddles was dumb but the hole itself was the danger. Not having paddles made a dangerous situation nearly fatal. In the end all the rescue in the world can only deal with the known danger it is the unkown one that will cause the clusterfuck.

i know kyle  ;D

so do you reckon he just shouldn't have run it at all?

kmck:
From what I know from the discussion they had run it before then set up the camera to make a film and the guy did his move throwing away his paddles half way down. Yes you'd run the drop but would try to either boof or run the edge of the drop.
