Scary !

This spot reminds me of the Dunnville dam as I would expect to see now after all the rain lately . Wearing a life jacket can save lives under these conditions .This video gets the heart pressure up and fortunately there were other boaters who saved their lives .

Crazy video.  
always wear a life jacket. You can’t even tell you’re wearing the new ones. 
 

I don’t know what these guys were thinking. Get flipped in the boat or jump out and swim to shore.  Easy decision

There's a spill way at the 12 just 100 yds. south of 4th Ave. and I believe there was a drowning there many years ago when a rafter got caught in the hydraulic undertow.

Those guys lost their gear but lived to buy new gear , good tradeoff !

The boat/motor should see happy days again too.

Did they catch anything?

Here is one with kayaks.

I watched that video yesterday PDG and there's many others as well . Many boaters are not aware of the dangerous 'undertow' from the dam spillways . 

If he wasn't wearing a 'life' jacket .........
