Kayaks are scary to me. They can turn and flip so easily. I hope they are all okay.

I know what you mean about kayaks being scary. The kayakers are in good shape.

I would rather bowl video games than go kayaking.

How did the kayaker get injured in a river; perhaps a wolf jumped out of Wolf River, and bit them?
Or, maybe they were larking around taking unnecessary risks.
Otherwise, they might have just been inexperienced, and turned over the kayak inadvertently.

Probably lack of experience dealing with kayaks on the river.
