And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Scary video
I went for an extended stay in the "Green Room" once in my rafting (not kayaking) career, and although it wasn't a big deal, it did emphasize how easily one can get into trouble on a river. These extreme kayakers are just asking to drown either by getting somehow pinned underwater or by getting knocked cold while one a dangerous stretch of water. Fun to watch, but even in my most daring stage of life, I'd say, "No thanks!"
