Jolie said: I am enough of a beginner to know why these dumb, and tragic things happen. Paddling a kayak is deceptively easy--anyone can do it. As far as concerns about weather, gear, dressing appropriately, etc., people simply do not know any better. It's as simple as that. I second that. The first time I paddled a whitewater river, I honestly didn't see the point of wearing a helmet or lifejacket. And no, that does not explain some of my opinions. By the time I did actually hit my head, I was wearing a helmet!
