An 18-year-old's tubing death is a sober reminder to put safety first when heading out for a day of fun on the Poudre River.
Monday, a single inner tube still bounced against the low-head dam the male teenager and his 16-year-old companion hit while tubing in the Watson Lake area of the Poudre River on Sunday evening.
Less than 24 hours after he fell off his tube, loved ones of the 18-year-old gently tossed flowers into the river before leaving a small memorial at the site near Bellvue. Identities of the males have not been released.
Dozens of emergency crews from Poudre Fire Authority and other area agencies responded Sunday evening to a report of two teenagers who had been swept over a low-head dam near where the river passes under Rist Canyon Road, west of Fort Collins.
One of those teens, the 18-year-old male, fell off his tube and did not survive. His cause of death has not been released.
A 16-year-old male on another inner tube was rescued about 100 yards upstream of where the deceased teenager was recovered.The surviving boy, who was stuck in the dam, was hospitalized at Poudre Valley Hospital but was alert and talking when firefighters rescued him.
The rescue was the first official swiftwater rescue in Poudre Fire Authority's 235-square mile service area for the 2017 season, according to spokeswoman Madeline Noblett. Battalion Chief Brandon Garcia said the rescue and death are a painful reminder of the dangers of the river, particularly hazards such as low-head dams.
Low-head dams are known as "drowning machines" across the country, Garcia said. They're difficult to spot from upstream and create dangerous hydraulics similar to those found inside a washing machine.
"Often, people don't realize they're there until they have no place to get out," Garcia said.
Once over the dam, if the tuber flips, the hydraulics of the water can keep the person in a continuous spin cycle, quickly disorienting the person and making it difficult to swim.
The conditions are dangerous enough that a personal flotation device, such as a life jacket, might not be enough to save you, Garcia added. Neither boy in Sunday's incident was wearing a flotation device.
Garcia said the safest thing to do before tubing, kayaking or rafting on the river is to survey the river to identify an exit point before low-head dams and other hazards and walk around them before continuing down the river. Garcia said there are efforts to get warning signs or buoys in place before low-head dams, but that Colorado currently has no state regulations regarding the dams.
Beyond the hazard posed by fixed structures such as low-head dams, the river is "by no means safe" this time of year, Garcia said. It's cold and it's moving fast — Sunday it was running at just more than 2,000 cubic feet per second at the Poudre Canyon mouth near where the teenagers hit the dam. Water temperature is about 50 degrees.
Hazards such as logs and other debris are changing on a daily basis as spring runoff continues, which can further complicate running the river.
Though the water "seems very inviting" as temperatures in the Fort Collins area warm up, Garcia urged tubers to "leave it to the professionals" for now.
For those who do brave the water, he said it's important to wear proper protective equipment, including shoes, gloves and a flotation device, and to practice safe water habits. That includes a healthy amount of caution.
"Realize when you have the ability to say no or to get out for your own safety, (that) it's OK to get out and walk down the river," Garcia said. "It maybe doesn't work today, and August is a much better time (for tubes)."
Previous reporting from Cassa Niedringhaus contributed to this report.
Poudre Fire Authority was dispatched to the following water incidents each year. In some cases, firefighters may have been dispatched but called off while en route or after arriving if the dispatcher confirms that the people in question were OK.

When Elicia Palmer teamed up with a stranger to perform a beautiful rendition of the 1965 film classic, she probably had no idea she would become an Internet sensation...
A 16-year-old girl has gone viral on YouTube after singing an operatic version of ‘Edelweiss’ at a London Underground station.
Originally from Grimsby, Elicia Palmer had been travelling through Tottenham Court Road underground station when she spotted a musician playing the station’s public piano.
Keen for a duet, the pianist approached the opera singer and cellist to make his musical request – but at the time, the teen was unaware it was Brendan Kavanagh, a well known concert pianist with a YouTube following of 844,000.
Also known as Dr K, the pianist, composer and former secondary school English teacher had left his day job in order to become a YouTube sensation by giving live Boogie Woogie style performances in unusual places.
Now, his videos have received millions of views online – and fans were quick to be impressed by his impromptu collaboration with Elicia (watch video above).
The talented teen, who is currently studying her A-Levels at Franklin College, Grimsby, is classically trained and chose to sing a moving rendition of ‘Edelweiss’, a film classic from The Sound of Music.
And ever since Kavanagh uploaded the recording of their performance, the video has been viewed more than 364,000 times.
Speaking about the experience, Elicia said: “It was very strange. I was just going to the shops with my friend and then we passed this guy playing the piano.
“We thought because we’re musicians we’d listen to him and spend a bit of time there in the Tube station.
“Then this guy came up to me, asked if we were musicians, and I said I was a cellist. My friend told him I’m a singer as well so he asked me to join him. She pushed me into it a bit!
She continued: “It was crazy because I didn’t know who he was at first, I didn’t realise he was famous. Everyone had their cameras out. They must’ve known who he was but I didn’t.
“It’s crazy. I’ve had a lot of messages from around the world which has been really nice. People have been saying that I need to do more and they want me and Brendan to collaborate together.”
Well, Elicia, Brendan – we’re certainly keen to hear your next duet!
