It's is important to know that the confused Europeans call kayaks "canoes". They call canoes "canadians". I am unclear exactly what kind of boats these were.

Well, they really were canoes, but the U.K. calls them "kayaks"

They were big open canoes. Seven people each, no PFD's... Looks like there are now 13 dead. Link to clip inside.

This had nothing to do with activism.... It was a celebration of the last possible trip on the river.

Many many lives could be saved each year if the basic safety rules of various outdoor sports were taught in gradeschool

Too many outdoor sports to cover. Schools can't cover core education topics well enough as is.
