@@dereksmith8165 believe me when i say this guy knows how and when to brace. running that waterfall any other way than properly will potential cave your face in. just because this is a very unusual solution to the problem at hand, doesnt mean it wasnt a smart one.
Adrenaline will make you think and do weird things quick , and in this case it worked out just fine for this guy. My worst swim came from attempting to roll with a broken paddle instead of swimming to teddy before a more major drop.
Looks like you were quite lucky that you managed to catch onto the shore where you did! Glad to see that you were ok. That could have been a nasty fall!
Looks like the decision to bail was pre-planned should it go badly. Turns out to be a great decision, relatively easy self rescue in shallow water. Beats the hell out of bouncing down a rocky fall on your head. Always plan what you are going to do if it goes wrong, which may include an insta-bail. I've planned such a strategy in the past and sometimes needed to do it.

Cmon now, I do class threes in a sit ontop ocean kayak 😂😂😂 I have even surfed 8 foot waves in a 3 man open top, ... but this is not balls it's lack of intelligence 😂😂
That would have been a painful, terrifying decent. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a hydraulic jump. Almost fell victim to a low head damn in Muskegon Michigan. Thank God I was rescued after two minutes, though it felt like an eternity.
That's a hell of a quick exit.
My only chance not to somehow fall down the waterfall.

@@lordofnothing. Agreed. I'd rather swim that thing than run it upside down. Broken legs vs. broken neck.
@@lordofnothing. I see it that way too.
Thats the quickest exit from a kayak I’ve seen !!! You didn’t even get your hair wet 😂
I was at the hairdresser's 😂
I don't believe I've ever seen anyone bail out of a boat quite that fast.
Me either. Instabailed
I'm young :D
Me either. I thought that maybe it had to do with the edit.

Good thing everything went well.
Were you even wearing a spray skirt? 🤔
🤣🤣🤣 Yes, sure, but that's how it looks
How did he get out that fast? Do boats come with ejection seats now?
🤣🤣
Glad you are OK. Not sure how you came out of your boat so fast. Where that log was, that was sketchy.
Thanks, get out quickly before you go headfirst downhill.
So... how’s your roll?
This… 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Non-existent considering his skirt was pulled before he went upside down
And if the role fails? crash down head first, no thanks.
Not a scratch not a bruise, who knows what would have happened if i tried rolling here. ;)

It wasn't planned, I just acted quickly, but I didn't want to go upside down.
Wheres the rescue set up?!
Ran away and got a rope, but i‘d rather save myself. 😂
@@mayrbmx close call, would not have been a nice trip down the next drop without a kayak. Thankfully it all worked out well

which river please?

This first thing we do coming into this world is wet exit...don't stop now.

Risk vs reward vs skill...I think you did the math alittle wrong, hope you learned something I sure did
what should I have learned? I would do it the same way again, nothing happened to me.
@@mayrbmx try to brace... Exiting your boat is when all of the things failed that is worse casenario

@@mayrbmx sorry bud, it wasnt, you shouldve braced
@@vrex899 everything turned out fine, so it fits like that
Great self rescue
Bombproof rolls are good too.
Alone?!?
no not this time. but i've often been alone on the creek.
Not alone, please. Pins, stucks ... Would like to see your vids with your comments, not posthumously.
@@Tac-tik ok :)
You didn’t even try to roll bud. You’re not ready for the goods yet
No try for something and then crash down head over heels and hurt me. sometimes it's better not to try to roll.
That was fast
Fortunately
Sure did get out fast. I thought it was a roll attempt, then the boat took off.
Get away quickly 😅
Glad that you could manage to get out. Did you go alone?
thank you, no I wasn't alone but the man is himself 😅
When I grow up.
I wanna have the cajones to be like you. Woa
But ill settle for class 1-2 rapids 🤣

Not trying to hate but for that little waterfall I’d be joy riding down it lol
But not upside down, into that shallow pool.
@@mayrbmx didn’t put thought toward that lol that’s probably why I don’t kayak rapids

This time I wasn’t alone 😊
better out than upside down.
@@mayrbmx not better out than upside down. Got lucky on this one. A brace would’ve been all you needed.
@@dylanlytle2478 but it's better, but i like to watch you shave that stony waterfall with your head
