I see no reason to arrest them. However....... if one of them good into
trouble I would expect that the emergency response crews would be too
busy attending to real emergencies. Let Darwin look after flood water
rafters.
On a related note, about a month and a half ago police intercepted a
couple of guys who were planning to kayak over Niagara Falls. A couple
weeks ago another guy was planning on trying it but smartened up and
decided not to try.
