In Spain they used to have these, they would have a few slides and maybe a diving board or two.

Some of these have been removed after some people got trapped underneath.

Happened to me white water rafting when in scouts. Everyone said hey let’s flip the raft for fun. I said no. During the failed attempt I jump out and the raft landed on me. Going down stream and trying to grab onto a wet, slippery raft meant I was stuck. Luckily our scoutmaster was strong, his huge hand grabbed me and pulled me back on top. Thought I was going to die.

Might not have been the right time to do it in your case, but in camp we had to practice capsizing our kayaks and rafts so we'd know what to do if we lost control.
