I moved to Indian Falls with my parents in 1973. I believe this has happened at least once every year since then. Some have resulted in death. For anyone reading this, there is a very strong whirlpool effect at the bottom of the falls creating a very powerful undertow which will drag you under the falls. VERY Dangerous for the swimmer and for the rescuers who will go in to get your dumb dead ass. I'm glad this kid only got the wind knocked out of him. He's very lucky.
