RedactedNarrative: Operator of vessel #1 was paddling a kayak on the Snake River below Shoshone Falls and decided to paddle too close to it. The current from the falls pulled the kayak into the falls and flipped the kayak and ejected it's occupant. Victim could not get out of the current of the falls and it kept pushing him under even though he was wearing a PFD. When he was finally kicked out from under the falls some other boaters were able to reach him and get him to shore. He was vomiting and not coherent.
  
  When rescuers and paramedics reached him he was treated for near drowning. Victim was transported out by rescue boat for further medical treatment. All witnesses left the scene before contact information could be obtained.
