Great Falls of The Potomac River : Near-Death Experience

A frightening moment on the Potomac River at Great Falls. Two extreme kayakers, Jason Beakes and Geoff Calhoun, take on the Falls, one of them gets an experience of a lifetime. Your photographer does as well!

Not really a near death experience, but swimming out of uhole would definitely not be fun

Yeah, it does happen. It looks like he fought the good fight trying not to swim. Had one of these a few weeks ago in front of my son, but worse. Kept getting recirculated into a cave behind a small falls. Anyways, glad everyone is ok ad hope he got his boat back.

I was there when Scott Bristow died, I was tied to a rescue rope to see if I could find him in Charlies Hole.
