He fell into the rapidly-flowing water of Athabaska Falls and you can hear witnesses screaming in the video as it happens. 

Luckily, after a short struggle, he was able to pull himself out of the water. 

The man ignored signs telling him he wasn't supposed to be where he was and was also breaking the area's drone laws, which can result in a $25,000 fine if you don't have a permit.
