I guess they don't have the info available/ wherewithal to know

But recommendation is to drag your feet in fast moving water (above ankle height) NOT hop through the water like the guys.. it allows the current to sweep you off your feet much easier.

Good info, sadly it seemed that a person was already in the water before the video started and the others were actually jumping in to try save them.

Thanks and noticed that as well, figured it's worth a mention for sure. Lots of flooding going on even in the U.S this summer

Don't cross a river right where the drowning machine is. Better to swim across down stream.

Probably a good idea of the three guys to not try getting in the water to help out. Would have just added more bobbers to the river.
