This video is seven months old, but only came to my attention yesterday thanks to our friends over at Climbing.com. It shows the dramatic rescue of a kayaker who went over a 20-foot (6 meter) waterfall, only to then realize that there was a 60-foot (18 meter) drop on the other side. The action is mostly caught on GoPro cameras as the two kayakers involved struggle to avoid going over the falls. Pretty scary stuff to say the least.
