EMILY vs a Low Head Dam

The EMILY rescue system is ideal in a low head dam rescue, demonstrated by this video where the EMILY is driven repeatedly into the rushing dam water without fatigue. Low head dams are dangerous not only for swimmers and boaters, but also for rescuers because of the strong recirculating current (referred to as the "boil") at the base of the dam.

Wow. I want to see way more of EMILY. Fell in love immediately w this tech. Suck potential! Would love to see her against a LHD with a real hydraulic.
Still- so dang impressive!!

Looks like a modified low head dam. with a flip lip maybe?

This doesn't look like the kind of dam that really is a killer, more like the kind that scares the chit out of unsuspecting kayakers.

The water going over isn't deep enough, but if it were half of a foot or a foot deep going over (and sometimes there are many feet deep going over), it would be an absolute death trap.
