This kind of thing happens in boating pretty often. Hyperthermia often gets underestimated in flowing water and all of a sudden the victim is dead weight.

We all know if you tuck in a ball in cold water the water arounds us warms a bit. In flowing water this never happens and your subject can lose body heat twice as fast as the hyperthemia tables report. At some point the body cuts off blood flow to the arms and legs to save core temp and they can no longer save themselves.

When a model tells me the dress is getting heavy, I get them out. If they are shivering when I do we're done shooting.

We all look up hyperthermia table before we put models in water, right?

Did you guess the boats name before expanding the photo?
