RedactedNarrative: Two kayakers launched on Rocky River at Bagley Road.  At the time the USGS stream gauge near Berea gave a flow rate of 2070 cubic feet per second (cfs) of water.  The average for the date was approximately 240 cfs.  It was snowing with winds of 22 mph gusting to 31 mph.  They were wearing dry suits, helmets, gloves, paddling boots, and PFDs.  When they got to the drops at Olmsted Falls they got out and scouted the area for 30-45 minutes.  They both decided to run the drops which were 4-7 feet high.
  
  Vessel 1 went over the first drop without incident.  When Vessel 2 went over the first drop the operator leaned back in his kayak which allowed the stern to catch in a hydraulic.  Operator 2 was thrown out of his kayak into the water.  He was able to swim to shore.  Vessel 2 continued downstream.  Vessel 1 caught Vessel 2 and was trying to get to shore when it went over the second drop sideways.  Operator 1 was ejected and swam to shore.  All the vessels, paddles, and gear in the boats were swept downstream.
  
  Operator 1 made his way to across from Operator 2.  Operator 2 was out of the water in a small area that was overhung by about 15 feet with no way to get out.  He was too exhausted to swim to another location.  Operator 1 called 911.  Southwest Emergency Response Team responded.  They performed a technical rescue, raising Operator 2 above the cliff.  Neither person was injured.
  
  Vessel 1 was recovered downstream on February 26, 2016.  As of March 31, 2016 Vessel 2 was not recovered.
  
  Vessel 2 was not registered.  Owner did not have HIN information.
