threats. this morning, i'm their victim. you would not want to do this without a lifejacket, dry suit and rescue team at the ready. i'm full on in what kayakers call class 3 rapids as i go under, over, and over again, it's as close to drowning as i've ever experienced. my lungs filled with water. a swift water rescue instructor at the ready, a timed jump, and now we're both being pulled to the edge of this simulated but very real raging river. >> all right? >> yeah. >> good? >> i'm good, but i drank some of that water. we've all seen real world rescues. today we're going to learn, if you're ever in one of these crisis there are decisions you can pensacola to stay alive. if you're in raging rapids, get on your back, river forward and keep legs up.

fight the natural urge to feel for riverbed with your feet. >> instinct is to stand in this moving water. it's the last thing you want to do. >> because? >> there could be boulders, rocks, anything that can drag ahold the foot. when it does, the power of the water will pull you underneath and you'll drowned. >> a powerful key to saving your life, look for an eddy, the spot where water moves back to the edge, swim out of the rapids. you will feel you can't make it. the flow eventually boosts you to shore. experts say if there's no one to save you, an eddy may be your own way to survive. all too often we hear reports like this. >> today a tragic discovery, a national guard member found dead after he risked his life to save another. >> here at the preparedness training center in upstate new york. >> going to need to be paddling hard, keep your self cleaned up. >> firefighters, forest rangers get wet and learn most important self-preservation. >> no heroes. >> we say that because --
