Paddle Safety

Making Water Recreation Safer

Don’t Give A Dam Your Life…

Be safe on all recreational waterways

Too many lives are lost on the water due to lack of accessible safety information. On-water accidents can be prevented and Low-Head dam fatalities eliminated by education and proper signage.

Sean Hiebel, 24 years old, of Fort Wayne IN died while going over a dam—we are continuing his family’s outreach.

Elimination, mitigation and education about these dams are important public health measures.

Our Mission

Paddle Safety works to educate the public on being safe on all waterways and especially around Low-Head dams.
