Paddling like many outdoor sports can be very gentle and relaxing, or it can be fatal. Any information provided on this website or from websites for which links are provided should be confirmed with other sources before you make any decision that might affect your safety. Read all safety/warning placards on your paddling equipment and paddle only with a certified instructor. Any assistance provided by Chris Collins or any other paddler who is not a certified instructor should be considered only friendly assistance and not qualified instruction.
Chris Collins cannot and is not qualified to be responsible for your safety. Neither can the Kansas Canoe
& Kayak Association nor any trip coordinator/scheduler/leader be responsible for your safety. You must not, and cannot, depend on others for your own health and/or safety.
Group trips are scheduled by ordinary people for the convenience of shuttling boats and paddlers off the water. The person organizing/leading a trip could easily be a novice paddler. You are responsible for your own safety on the water. You must make your own decision whether or not to paddle based on your own experience, knowledge and equipment. Learn all you can from multiple sources and be careful.
