❤❤People have died in rafting accidents. Rafting on certain sections of rivers can be dangerous and fatal.
@AOrafting 7 күн бұрын
It is possible, but it's much less probable than you think. Statistically, there is actually a much higher probability of having a fatal car crash than a fatal rafting accident!

That's a really common myth, but we often have guests rafting who are 50, 60, or even 70 years old! In fact, a few of our guides are in their 50's. While there are inherent risks to any adventure, our experience and training really helps minimize these. Would love to see you out on the river with us some day!

It's awesome!! The river is the Middle Fork American River, in Foresthill, CA. We'd love to see you out there, and offer 1, 2, and 3 day trips on this stretch, which are all pretty rad. You'll save 25% if you book before the 31st too! www.aorafting.com/river/middle-fork-american/welcome.htm

Great question! At the end of the rapid (right where this boat flipped), there's a huge, calm pool in the river. We always make sure that there's at least one raft waiting in that pool to pick up swimmers in case of a flip!

Fortunately, this rapid ends with a calm float through a tunnel built by gold miners in the 1850s to divert the water from a section of the river to make the mining process easier. More gold has been taken from the Middle Fork American than from any other river in California.
@AOrafting 5 ай бұрын
Yep! That calm at the end makes it a really good place to fall out of the raft, all things considered. You can also still see old mining equipment along the riverbank!

@davidbennett1357 5 ай бұрын
on average, how fast is the water moving in a class 3 rapid situation?
@AOrafting 5 ай бұрын
Honestly there's no sort of consistency to it, as the rapid's class mostly deals with the river's features (rocks, holes, waves, etc.) rather than the speed of the water. There is some loose correlation though, as faster water typically correlates to a more difficult rapid.
@trwent 5 ай бұрын
I would also suggest that, in your criteria for rating a rapid, a third criterion is usually also considered: the potential consequences of a swim. For example, on Cherry Creek, Flat Rock Rapid is really not that technically difficult, but a swim there could be deadly due to a severe undercut, and that is why it is always walked around by the guests on commercial trips. Several lives have been lost in this rapid--as far as I know, all on private trips.
@AOrafting 5 ай бұрын
That's a great point, and this is actually a consideration when grading the difficulty of the rapids which we didn't cover much here. Flat Rock is a perfect example of this concept!
