We took a new IKer on his first run on the Middle Middle, and first real class III whitewater. He did pretty well until House Rocks. He got off-balance in the Goal Posts and flipped. He was unable to get back into his boat and ended up swimming the entire rapid. He got a little banged up in the process.
It's not easy to get back into an IK, but it is very important to learn how. I still remember the first time I was able to get back into my boat in a rapid. It prevented me from having to swim a half mile of whitewater, potentially losing my boat and missing the takeout.
