No, the whole thing was over in less than 5 minutes - most people  
didn't stay in for more than several seconds. Just outside the crop  
were 2 fire/rescue workers in wetsuits and EMTs on the ground. To my  
knowledge, there's never been any serious casualties to date. The man  
who started it all died just a couple years ago at the age of 101. He  
paddled around like an otter for a couple minutes every New Year's Day  
and still puts all these pikers to shame.
