Ben Stewart Black
On Sunday, February 27, 2011, the lowhead dams of the Grand River took the life of our young friend, 24 year old “Big Ben” Black. On behalf of Grand Rapids Whitewater, Cannonsburg Ski Area co-workers and Ben’s many friends, we wish to extend our condolences to the family in this difficult time.
GRWW continues to work with the City Of Grand Rapids toward our goal of re-engineering these drowning machines in order to make a safer urban river experience for everyone.

So sorry to hear about another needless death. My brother died in a lowhead dam…he didn’t stand a chance.
RIP Ben
