My brother is a very avid fisherman - every time I call him, he seems to be out on a river or lake somewhere in western Massachusetts during the afternoon. This article really struck me, so I shared this with him, along with the video of the Binghamton, NY Susquehanna River Dam accident, which is mentioned in this article. In a light tone I said to him "don't ask why I'm telling you this randomly now, but never go near a low head dam." He quickly reminded me that I have a family member who died when I was young that drowned. I never knew the details - turns out it was a low-head dam. It's easy to think that in modern society there aren't many almost unseeable risks like this lurking out in the world.
