I have heard and read of accidents of campers in the water particularly in the river. Is is mostly caused by their ignorance of the water. An actual accident 2 years ago in a river resulted in the death of 7 college students who didn't know that the river water would surge once in a while. In another occasion, a tv personality died of drowning in the sea when the small boat he was riding on capsized. He was not wearing a life vest. Those accidents could have been avoided if the victims knew of the water's characteristics.
