yesterday i saw a lady get flipped over in relativly slow current and when she tried to roll her skirt just came off is her skirt to big or did she pull it? it looked like she tried to roll because she had both hands on the paddle when the skirt popped

i dont know how experienced she was, but with people who are relatively new to kayaking they somethimes forget to keep the knees out and pop their deck with their own knees.. :think:

she prolly pulled then went for the roll or the skirt impolded with pressure if it was to small and not strong enough

but the current was only like class 1 so i don't think that the pressure messed it up but i'm not sure

I flipped on the Upper Onde chase boatin not lookin where i was going right above grade 4+/5 slide got fricton burns down my arm rolled to find my deck popped it was too tight due to having kevlar reinforcing around the front not strecthy so went into a hole boat filled me out running down the side of the river to find my boat on a gravel beach 200-300 metres down stream and the other boat pinned in the middle of the river 50 m up stream what a fun day!

Ended up gettin a massage off a lovely girl in the Canoe Control Party with loadsa free Beer yay
