“pinned underneath rocks”

“Extreme Whitewater Kayaker” and award winning filmmaker, Chris Gallaway, paddled over a guy who was “pinned underneath rocks” during this year’s Green Narrows Race. I hope they got the rocks off of that guy. Where did the rocks fall from that this paddler was pinned underneath? From the heavens? Did aliens put them there? Hear the story directly from the man himself in this exclusive interview with Asheville’s Citizen Times.

  1. Not laughing here. That was a very serious incident, and people need to be informed about the dangers of rocks falling from the sky.

Not everyone will have a hero like me to come through and knock the rocks of them when the s#!t goes down.
