Chase Nobles (Idiot) Kayacks COS drainage ditch during flood

I hear ya. My issue with the OP wasn't with what the fellow in the video did. It was with the 'hope' that his actions ended in tragedy.

I think there is a fine line between being adventurous and endangering others. I think people should pursue and push their limits in all regards. Danger is always a possibility when we adventure. And people that choose their life's work as rescue are pursuing danger themselves... For their own reasons.

I saw this video of Haley's the other day. At no point did I consider what he was doing to be a stunt. Probably because I have read enough about the man doing the action to believe he knows what he's doing. Maybe I should have spent the time to research the fellow in the kayak to find out if he passed my personal perception test as to who is and who isn't qualified to participate in thrill seeking.

Regardless, great video:

Jesus. H. Christ.
Since all we do is argue semantics around here how about this..

I said he was an idiot, I hope he ended up pinned against a large grate and that being that stupid should hurt, a lot.

Where did I directly wish harm on him? You inferred that from my comment about the grate.

Take this story for example:

Guy "challenges environment", takes a 1/2 mile ride down river using his jeep as a canoe/submarine, and gets to clean some turds out of his pants.

LESSON LEARNED(hopefully), and you know what? Ill bet it hurt a little bit.

Chad Nobles needs some of that, before he gets a fire fighter killed trying to fish his stupid ass out of one of those tunnels.

Jeep pulled from Yellowstone River at estimated cost of $10K

BILLINGS - The 2010 Jeep Rubicon that was driven into the Yellowstone River at Sportsman's Park on Sunday has been removed, but not for cheap.
State game warden Kevin Holland said Tuesday that the vehicle was removed by the Billings Flying Service. The Jeep was secured by its roll bar and the doors were left open to drain water as it was lifted by a helicopter out of the river.
Billings Flying Service flew it to a neighboring field where a wrecker removed the waterlogged and destroyed Jeep.
Holland would not divulge the amount it cost the vehicle's owner to get the Jeep removed from the river, but he did say it cost "thousands" for the helicopter service.
Gary Blain, co-owner of the Billings Flying Service, said the total cost was close to $10,000.
Another co-owner, Al Blain, flew a Sikorsky S-61 helicopter to pull the Jeep out of the river.
On top of paying to get the vehicle out of the river, the driver was cited for driving in an unauthorized area, a misdemeanor. The fine amount is up to a judge's discretion, but ranges from $0 to $500.
Holland said it is illegal to drive a vehicle into a fishing access for recreation other than to launch a boat into the river.
Officials said the Jeep went into the river at about 7 p.m. Sunday when three men and one woman were "having fun recreating." They drove the Jeep past the high-water mark and it was quickly swept away in the current.
The four were rescued by boat. The Jeep was carried a half mile down river.
