In the last four plus years of kayaking, I have yet to hear of anyone getting injured this way, let alone know of anyone personally. (My other kayaking was so long ago that I have forgotten almost everything: and I don't think there were grab handles on kayaks back then anyway.) Yet the assumption must be that there *are* injuries of this sort for Gordon to start a research project on it. I would be interested in seeing a copy of any replies sent to the list as well as to Gordon. (It's the stuff you don't know about that ends up biting you in the ass.) -- Darryl *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
