Action scenes like that it’s best to keep under 1/200 sec so you can capture their expression.

If be bumping up to 1/1000 to get the splashes, but open up a wider aperture to really emphasise on them with some exaggerated depth of field. 400mm, get a real distant look about it to enhance the isolation and helplessness.

I mean, if you can capture the water droplets in the sunlight, it could be really beautiful. OTOH, bokeh. 50/50

As long as ive got my tripod with me, I'd go far, far slower, clamp down that aperture, get real low on the i so, and go long exposure, up to 4/5 seconds depending on how bright it is out.

Silky smooth water as it flows, and a delightful blurry trail that disappears below the water.
