No sir he died scared, and alone at the bottom of a river. He was terrified. His last words, according to witnesses, was Oh My God!!!! It was foolish and no comparison to any rational risk taking activity can compare to how idiotic this kayaking trip was. No camping trip to bear country, no sky diving trip, no swimming in shark infested waters compares to this. Bears and sharks usually leave people alone even when being in the vicinity of them. Parachutes almost always open and function properly. Bungy cords usually work. Mountain climbers usually do just fine. The rivers in Africa have nearly 500,000 crocodiles infesting them. Crocodiles, particularly the large species, are very aggressive and have no fear of man. I get so tired of folks trying to bring sanity to such an insane thing. The only thing worse than kayaking the various African Rivers is attempting to swim them. This was foolish, and spoke of arrogance. These folks thought they did not have to abide by the laws of nature. Now a poor souls family has to suffer because of his poor judgment. I would never be on any crocodile infested river, by choice, in any small watercraft. Fool hearted arrogant behavior that got a man killed. Good Day,
You’re right. His family must be devastated, and for what?
