Yeah man, it's a crap-shoot. Good to hear you made it through. You'd probably get messed up good falling against a railing or something there; or worse yet, falling off. I've bombed a ton of those concrete fords around here - they're built into the trail, designed to be overrun when the water gets high - and fortunately haven't washed out yet. My luck ran out. I haven't wrecked proper in a while. Bad spot for it. The rest of me stayed warm though! Layers, baby!
