This is the report of the accident that took the life of Brennan Guth, a very
experienced w.w.kayaker who died last month in a somehow stupid situation.





I decided to post it here as even when this is not about sea-kayaking, similar
risky situations are also common, and somehow the excess of confidence is
unfortunatelly frequent in human nature. The report was written by his pal who
was with him during the accident and I post it here the way I receive it,
without modifications.





I couldn´t get his permission but I think he wrote this with the aim to be
read and to learn something about it. Maybe this way Brennan´s death might
have a meaning. I´ve never met none of them nor do I know them at all. My
respects and condolences for both of them and their families.
