I watched them all but I couldn't help thinking that it was just a matter of time before one of them ended up with a spinal injury Someone mentioned the compression and it was clear from watching, that all the leverage of the yak, twisting of the torso, and the shock of hitting the water was acting directly on the spine - no knee joints or hip joints to absorb the shock of landing!

 

I like thrills (did a 200ft bungy jump over the North sea last year) but those clips looked like wheelchair roulette to me.
