http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/northern_california/10620834.htm?1c Wondering if anyone else saw the video of this "rescue" that went bad (the end result is good with the mother and baby doing ok in the hospital). Seemed awkward to me to attempt to pull a small raft across a swollen, rushing river perpendicular to the flow with nothing more than a rope tied to the bow. The raft flipped sideways in the current after leving the far bank dumping the victims into the rushing river. Anyone else see this? I'd be very curious what the Texas swift water rescue team in San Marcos would have to say about the method used.
