“Rushing water is an indiscriminate killer. It will take whatever it wants with it, it will take your life if it can,” says Napolitano. “We don’t want to take our shoes off, we probably can’t get them off anyway, and by trying to remove them, we are probably going to drown or at least slip and fall and may become trapped by rocks and debris beneath our feet,” Napolitano says.“You want to stick your legs straight out, and that will allow you to float on the water. Let the current of the water carry you,” says Napolitano.
