The Vigster almost drowned filming Aragorn's floating down the river scene from TTT (yet another reason they shouldn't have done it!). He was trapped by an undercurrent about fifteen feet (according to him) underwater for so long that he thought he was going to die. Eventually though disoriented he managed to kick off a rock and get out of the undercurrent to resurface. The rapids of Aotearoa/New Zealand are not to be trifled with.
