Whitewater SELF DEFENSE...
Heads Up!... River Rescue for River Runners.
With the help of safety gurus Les Bechdel, Glenn Carlson, Jim Segerstorm and Charlie Walbridge, Heads Up! explores river hazards and what to do about them. We learn how to deal with strainers, foot & body entrapments, undercut rocks and panicked victims. Sequences demonstrating rescue techniques are punctuated by dramatic real life situations captured by video boaters on rivers around the country. If you take your river running seriously and want some new tools in your safety tool box, then don't miss Heads Up! another in a series of American Canoe Association river safety videos. (Ref.
