When Rowing goes wrong

When I used to cycle up and down the towpath in Oxford I would try to be really considerate of others, but very occasionally you’d just have to pedal hell for leather to stop a boat crash (rowers go backwards of course). We were always most worried one of the novice college eights would hit our juniors because of the damage they could do.... this video from the recent Bumps scared the life out of me... watch what happens at 1min 20 - could have been so bad.
