You're probably picturing plunging over a steep cliff, falling hundreds of feet, and dying from the impact. However, you can also die from a much shorter waterfall, simply by being trapped in the plunge pool by the water currents, and being repeatedly pushed under by the falling water and pulled under by the currents. Such waterfalls can occur on basically any river; it only takes an elevation difference of a few feet. | |

Rapids, whirlpools, and other hazards can be as dangerous as a waterfall - or more than a small one - and being stranded somewhere because you have put a hole in your canoe can be fatal. Whether you might notice a waterfall in time just is not the question. | |
