Two kayakers are lucky to have escaped serious injury after a man allegedly rolled a large log off a cliff directly above them, according to Nanaimo RCMP.

A large log was dropped off a cliff toward two kayakers near Jesse Island, off the coast of Nanaimo.

The kayakers, a 43-year-old man and 39-year-old woman, were paddling in the waters off Jesse Island near the entrance to Departure Bay beach at around 6:45 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, when it happened. “The log struck the woman kayaker in the back with enough force to knock her out of her kayak and into the ocean waters,” Nanaimo RCMP said in a statement.
