If you cycle or walk along there, you'll see the weir is amply marked with gigantic "death trap" signs on the shoreline . . . . . . you can't miss them.

It's too bad the chain with other gigantic "death trap" signs wasn't there but they did have someone on board who had rafted to that point twice before.

They killed themselves.

Ironically, while in Rome recently, I was running past a similar weir on the Tiber that didn't appear to have any noticeable warning signs at all . . . . but Romans don't seem like the rafting kind and the Tiber is a bit of a stinking pollution pit.
