Calgary Paddleboard Safety Warning | Calgary News

A paddleboarder in Calgary ended up in critical condition after slamming into a bridge abutment on the Bow River — and his ankle leash actually pulled him under. His 11-year-old son floated downstream but was rescued by a good Samaritan. Fire crews say these incidents are rising, with three rescues this year and two recent deaths. Key advice? Ditch the ankle leash on the Bow River — it can turn a near-miss into a drowning. Stay safe: visit calgary.ca/watersafety and calgary.ca/flood for tips and river updates.
