# The Uncalculated Risk

Produced by the American Red Cross

Shows the things that can go wrong when people with little experience or training set off in canoes, rafts, and kayaks. Shows the dangers of underwater obstacles, treacherous currents, icy water, flow-through hazards, and unpleasant surprises around the bend. Stresses the need for pre-experience instruction as the best means for preventing accidents. Blue Ribbon winner, American Film Festival
