[Paddlewise] Epilepsy & Paddling

G'Day All,

Can any one help with knowledge or experience of paddlers who suffer from
epilepsy. Are rescue techniques viable if a paddler experiences a grand mal?
The case I'm thinking of is someone who last suffered a grand mal in 2001
and who wants to take up paddling. I have pointed out what little I know of
the risks as described by the National Society for Epilepsy and have
suggested sit on tops and doubles but they have a strong preference for sit
in kayaking.

All the best, PeterO
