That's quite an amazing story, and what's so wild about it is that no matter how many times you run the same river, the same drop, the same way... the same thing DOES NOT  always happen.  The power of the river is a funny thing.  Very glad to hear things turned out fine in the end.  

It's like, the more you paddle the better you get, but you still increase your odds for error too.  That's just so crazy to think about.
