Hey I'm proud to say I'm a rap n swim kiddie canyoneer!!
But seriously just remember, we are all ignorant of what we don't know. Having been ocean lifeguard for a long time I have realized that most people are not stupid just ignorant of the power of the ocean. Same principle applies to the wilderness.

like people that get too close to reef when there are high waves and get trap in and do not know you have to swim away of the reef or you get hamburger smashed at the rocks?
I knew that when I was 4 years old and grew up in Sardegna!
and as kids we were not allowed to swim after lunch!!!!! (called:congestione sanguigna)
ok lets called them: IGNORANT OF THE POWER OF THE CANYONS!!!

it apply to kids and adult that go swimming away of shore ( we do not have sharks so we do that a lot) and blood concentrate around stomach ,get cramped and unless very confident swimmer you drawn because the pain does not let you focus on swimming.
we have many people that die in summer because of that.(ps the cheating way is to stay in low water for a while to let the blood vessel adapt and after swim away of shore when the body is accustomed to the temp )
