There's no video of anyone swimming the whole thing. The conditions vary wildly from one meter to the next.

Middlebrow dismissal, given that there's no proof that it's not 100% and obviously there's no way to prove that it is. It's very easy to imagine a design that would kill 100% of swimmers, it would actually be surprising if there isn't somewhere in the world that would do it.
3:20 of this video shows a well-prepared kayaker w/ a ton of PPE get quite the experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkPUPxPfFHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkPUPxPfFHw
I don't think there's any way someone without a life jacket survives 3:40, or someone pulling them to safety at 3:54. The extremely bouyant kayak itself struggles at 3:54 to not go down. A ~neutrally bouyant human in that aerated water would be toast.
- chasd00 4y agothey kayak almost getting pulled under blows me away. Thanks, but no thanks!
