He was a daredevil, so might have been pushing his luck.chuck said:
Watch a video of a small waterfall. The hydraulic (hole) is at the base, where the water gurgling up from the bottom feeds back into the base of the falls. Real powerful ones can keep big boats, logs etc recirculating for a long time and a swimmer may spend more time underwater getting gurgled than on the surface where they can breathe. Those small boats can get caught and flipped in fairly innocent looking ones like this gif. The kayak punches right through it with speed. It's hard to punch them like this on little pontoon boats. The hole catches the stern end and tends to flip the boat backward.Canadawg said:

It's not hard to screw up on those little one man pontoons. They get caught in hydraulics and get upside down really easily.
No matter how hard he was tackled on the punt returns, he was always the first one back up out of the pile and racing to the sidelines or huddle. And he took some big hits on those returns. -
Small pontoon boats on moving water have always freaked me out.chuck said:
