I dont' quite get why they were going over the damn, but it wasn't a good idea. The article says canoes and kayaks, btw.
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) -- Divers pulled six bodies out of
the Sava River and fought strong currents Friday to search for five
other people still missing after two canoes were crushed running over a
dam in southeastern Slovenia.
Mayor of the local town, who also is a member of parliament, was reportedly among the victims.

Three people
managed to swim ashore after their boats crumpled, overturned and
capsized but two of them died Friday in the hospital, raising the death
toll to 8, according police spokesman Robert Perc. The third survivor
remained hospitalized.
