I have zero experience in canyoning rappelling but I am doing it in rock climbing. I wonder if sometime you use a back up safety system as we do in rock climbing (prusik set up use with the ATC system) ?

Canyoners don't use backup becouse they can drown inside waterfall if they are stuck in it....

Although this is a possibility, it is NOT recommended to have a backup system (ie. prusik) when descending through flowing water or with significant water movement on the reception pool, as the risks of drowning after a potential involuntary or accidental blockage are real. On rappels where there is no flowing water or dangerous reception pool, you could make use of a backup system, keeping note of other variables (rope twisting being one of them) prior to deciding for the use or not.
