Use that time wisely!!!
The only thing going through my mind while crashing at 65kph last weekend and bouncing across the snow was "AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!" ;)

Panic when the first recir and dive did absolutely nothing, and then worsening as I was waiting for a rope that was slow in getting thrown (I was a little under the overhang that my safety was standing on), and then really so when the rope slipped t…

Did you have doubts about making it out of the recirc right then?
For me, I didn't get scared until I was reeled back into a waterfall in New Hampshire and diving deep out of it simply caused me to resurface on the boarder of the boil line and get reeled in again. The water was too aerated for kicking to do any go…

It's still sitting in the "can" (post-production). I guess that's pretty typical in Hollywood. Something gets shot and then the production company sits on it until they think the market is ready for release... hopefully before we're grey and wrinkled!

We have a buoyant craft, pfd, helmet, protection from the cold, and flippers.
