I just don't get what these people are thinking playing around by flooded waters and fast currents.

Officials launched a search of the Crow River Tuesday after a witness reported seeing a man fall in.
According to the McLeod County sheriff, just before 7 p.m. Hutchinson police received a call from the witness.
The caller said they saw a man walking on rocks near the dam on the Crow River. The man slipped in and did not resurface.
Hutchinson Fire and Rescue launched boats and conducted a river search. Silver Lake rescue teams, the McLeod County Sheriff's office and a State Patrol helicopter also assisted.
They did not find a body and called off the search for the night at about 8:30 p.m. due to darkness and fast-moving river conditions.
They plan to resume recovery efforts Wednesday morning.
