The Drowning Machine
 
TCT,

I was stunned to see the picture in this article of a jon boat with five rescue personnel approaching a low head dam. Tragically, there were fatal consequences. It's hard to imagine rescue personnel not being aware of this hazard. Please continue to remind family and friends, particularly new boaters and those who may not be familiar with low head dams, of the dangers that they pose.

Be careful out there. So many people think that low head dams are just small 'waterfalls'. This is not the case.
