Here is her story of the incident

Also if you read the vimeo comments she's taking a lot of heat for being irresponsible for being there in those conditions and after so much warning of potential danger.

That shot at 3:43 created an optical illusion for me causing me think the depth was inverted (the way those inverse/hollow reliefs appear to continuously follow your point of view; I'll link if you don't know what I'm talking about).
Anyway, if you can get your eyes to do, quite trippy. It made the river look as though it were perfectly balanced on a long ridge, with the forest falling away down sharp cliffs on either side. I think my eyes were focused on the river at the time.

She probably did the right thing. By holding on for as long as possible and lasting until the peak strength of the water, she had as much water as possible between her and the rocks and the most velocity to push her away from the drop.

Embed code does not appear to be valid - ignoring backup request by eric3579.

I find meatbag eric3579 to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by eric3579.

This dead video has been deemed functional; either it was accidentally declared dead or eric3579 is planning to manually replace the embed with a backup - declared notdead by eric3579.
