Two brothers head out for a routine test run of their inflatable kayak at Charlotte's National Whitewater Center, but when their planned exit point doesn't exist, they're forced into an unplanned descent down Class III+ rapids.
What follows is a harrowing eight-minute fight for survival—getting thrown from their boat, dragged underwater through violent currents, and ultimately clinging to their capsized kayak while navigating multiple rapids sets.
It's a raw, first-person account of how quickly things can go wrong on the water, the split-second decisions that can save your life, and why sometimes the best lessons come from the situations you never planned to be in. A gripping reminder that nature always gets the final vote.
