Title: Re: Your worst portaging accident

These are great stories!  Anybody that actually goes out there has a bunch of them.  Hopefully I'll be able to collect more of them.   Wiped out three times in Quetico earlier this year but only one was even worthy of honorable mention.  Broke through some sticks on a bog walk and Newton's law of gravity rapidly took over.  I find it interesting as to how far a canoe can actually fly before crashing.  Took me a while to find it OR it might have taken me a while to get out of the muck, I forget which. ::)

In a past life, I used to have to fill out accident reports along with a corrective action.  I would tell my boss that I couldn't fix clumsy or stupid.  Glad I don't have to do them for myself now ;)
