Safety Tip
If you should fall into deep, slow water, crawl or sidestroke at a downstream angle towards the shore. In fast, boulder-stewn runs, float on your back with your legs pointed toward obstructions to cushion the blow while backstroking at an up-stream angle. If you cannot steer around a long jam, turn onto your stomach and vault on top of it to avoid being swept underneath. (Field & Stream, May, 2005)
