it hurts when you land on your back or face other than that is pretty hard to get hurt
to get the bike in you have to grab it and swim in with it. kinda of a pain but well worth it.

river jumping / lake jumping is fun.
lifejackets have no trouble bringing the bike back to the surface, considering even a child's lifejacket is made to hold more than even the heaviest downhill bike.

putting lots of air in the tires is probably easiest to do

Lake/ River jumping owns. The bike i used the tires just held the bike up and it definetly doesn't hurt landing ont eh bike usually. I was busting out some one hand table tops and such landing ont he bike and it didnt hurt at all.
