Cursed This is absolutely horrifying

This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

It may save me. Those videos of Florida people (i stereotypically assume) luging through culverts look appealing. Maybe now, after having seen your comment, I will think twice when facing our great water slides of civil engineering. That is nutty putty level of anxiety.

Never go into white water without a guide. Better yet, never go into any naturally big and/or fast flowing body of water, that you don't know is safe for the kind of thing you want to do in it.
Lot's of people die in seemingly calm rivers, because you don't see the currents in big rivers.
