$1499 is too high a price to pay to have a first responder standing over what's left of your body and remarking, "I've seen some fucked up ways to kill yourself, but .... I can't cope." Then, walks away.

There are several near me that are slow moving with sand bank shore lines. Defiantly wouldnt want to try it when the river was really high.

Yes, at long last, you can now live out your dream of falling asleep while you lazily drift down a river, hit a sharp submerged stick, and awake in total darkness as cool, refreshing water rushes into your tent and a high-quality nylon body bag slowly entombs you and pulls you down to where the rescue divers will recover your waterlogged, fish-eaten corpse.
