RedactedNarrative: Vessel - 11' Inflatable Sea Eagle Kayak 
  
  On 03/11/2014, at about 6:00 p.m., this vessel, owned/operated by Operator, was put in the Cedar River, located in King county, near Renton WA. 
  
  Both Operator and Son stated that the kayak flipped over very soon after it was put in the river and both of them ended up in the water. They were able to right the kayak and get back in it. Approximately 3 - 4 minutes later, the kayak got stuck in strong current against the river bank and became entangled in some downed trees and other debris, which caused it to flip again and deposited both of them back into the water. Son was wearing a PFD at the time of the incident. Operator was not wearing a PFD and did not even have one. 
  
  Operator was able to get out of the water, but could not find Son. Operator climbed up the embankment to go for help and happened to encounter a King County Sheriff's Deputy who called for help. Son was located and both he and Operator were transported to Valley Medical Center for treatment of possible hypothermia. Operator confirmed that neither of them had significant injuries. They were both released from the hospital with no admission. 
  
  Both Operator and Son stated that they had limited experience with this kayak and no experience with any other boats. They had previously used this kayak on Lake Washington but had never attempted to use it on a river.
