	A boater in our group flipped in the lead-in to over Crystal Mill Falls on the Crystal river in CO about 5 years back. He got knocked out somewhere between 5 feet from the lip and the pool. There were two different rocks that we suspected did the damage, but don't know which one knocked him out. His Lidds helmet was shattered on the right side (probably knocked him out) and he had a deep gouge running right down the middle of the top of the helmet (probably from a pyramid-shaped rock in the curtain). We thought he'd swam, but someone on shore spotted him still inside the boat and I did a hand of God, rolling him up, along with a person doing safety on shore. I can e-mail you pics of the drop on that day if you'd like. Just e-mail me through BT.
