Comment by Ben Waller on October 27, 2009 at 9:31pm - You will note that at no time were the students actually in swift water during this video. They were wading an a shallow eddy, and using techniques that would cause line entanglement and rescuers to be swept away if they had performed those techniques across the eddy line in actual swift water.
