I'm not sure I would do it again since there are so many opportunities for accidents,'' he added, a day after a flash flood killed several thrill-seekers guided by the same company that took Peters canyoning two weeks ago. A bus takes the group near the starting point, and a 20-minute hike brings the adventurers through rocks and shallow water to cliff jumps, he said. It is important to hit the right spot in the water because the depth varies, he said.
Guides sometimes stand in strategic spots to push jumpers away from danger points.
He said he felt safer on other aspects of canyoning - sliding down natural water slides on his back with his arms crossed on his chest or rappelling down ropes bolted into the cliff face.
