Clearly a lot of experienced kayakers here. So, a question....how dangerous is kayaking? Any close calls? How does it compare to other outdoor adventure sports from a risk/danger perspective? Say, vs mountain biking? dirt bikes/trail riding? scuba diving?

I have always wanted to try it, but a good friend of mine gave it up after a scare involving being upside down wedged into a rock in fast water. Is that kind of thing common?
