This 'rafting trip' is a great retirement gift for that manager who's given you a hard time for so many years.

[@JonathanJDC]

This got me! 😂

[@boxhawk5070]

Who came here from the low dam testing? Looked like the guy in yellow stopped having fun about 2:25.

[@johngo6283]

2:16 - NUCKING FUTS!!!!!! I would start to get seriously worried if I was that guy.

Best comment ever about these "boats"! 😂

[@williamdudleybass9302]

LOL! Apparently some folks luvvit!

[@jpscharged]

Wouldn't be fun drowning in a hydraulic in a tiny kayak.

[@connorpotratz1459]

Normal rafting will never be the same again for these guys!

[@billquantrill4960]

The guy doing the river upside down in the red, white and blue thing is a champ!

[@SteepVisions]

the ultimate beater invention.

[@johnrflinn]

Need a plasic see through window for your blind spot. That is one hell of a keeper hole.

[@nickkendall3764]

These things are awesome... That one that kept getting beaten down in that huge hole was amazing that guy held on like a trooper looks like a hell of a lot of fun with the risks being minimised.... Coolest invention iv seen

[@jamieharr4459]

It's always good to go in the boat...This video could go in another direction pretty quick. That thing simply cashes checks bodies can't cash.

[@michaelhill56]

He didn't hold on...he's strapped in🙄

[@Fragrantbeard]

@@jamieharr4459 totally. Human bodies are soft and oxygen dependant. We are NOT made to be like the guy in 2:10.

[@davehumpleby3440]

Awesome. Wish these had been invited back in the day when I was guiding the Zambezi. Even bigger surfs in 'Oblivion'!

[@bikedawg]

Doesn't look like much fun being upsidedown for so long. You can still end up drowning...

[@D__Lee]

The video footage was so good that one of my contact lenses got flushed out.

[@offmeds2nite]

2:16 The wonderful beat down content I came here for.

[@Hovermaster]

I know Darin, the inventor of the Creature Craft. He has invited me to come along for a ride. I have graciously declined..but..props to him and his fearlessness!

[@ellenl.5581]

My stomach is turning with them.

[@herbmanning8348]

Classic case of gear-induced courage. Such a silly way to die.

[@marthas8108]

Yeah, sad to say, they're pushing the envelope and it's already ended in tears. From Gearjunkie in 2017: "Darren Vancil, inventor of the Creature Craft, landed in the emergency room with serious injuries after thrashing in a violent set of rapids on the Skykomish River Sunset Falls drops more than 100 feet over a 275-foot stretch of river. It’s a seriously technical and turbulent falls along the fast-flowing south fork of the Skykomish. Prior to last month, only seven boats descended this rigorous section of whitewater. ... Vancil took a blow to the head, lost consciousness, and suffered a fractured pelvis, sacrum, and significant bruising after he was pummeled on his attempt. Yet, he still swears by the craft."

[@Dyshof]

Superb construction

[@SegoMan]

Thumbs up if you was Hi-Siding with the crew!

[@markw6602]

Awesome!!!!

[@juanverde7444]

Oars seem pointless in these big whitewater runs. They are hardly doing any rowing.

[@gailgator1272]

Dumbest comment ever.

[@oopalonga]

2:07 looks fun as fuck. . .i just imagine screaming "THIS IS HOW WE DIE!" while my buddy and i are in there

[@Truth-Be-Told-USA]

Yikes for sure

[@californiasunshine8746]

That looks so fun...

[@Aerogrow]

I just signed out for a job testing small boats on little rivers; how bad could it be.

[@gabrieldeschenes607]

I really really wonder how It’d go on rivers like the Zambezi, The White nile, the Niagara gorge or even the Indus pretty mush any big river like the Tumwater

[@robwells5753]

mother nature just kicked their ass lol

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

One thing that it doesn't do is sink or pop. Since it is for lowhead dam rescues, that makes it extremely safe. Even in a situation like Tumwater...it eventually makes it out of even the nastiest keepers.

[@thakidistight]

Just like a raft, that thing COULD pop. Absolutely irresponsible to think otherwise.

[@MrSoccerball100]

I can’t find it now... but I read on another KZbin video that these things won’t pop and sink. Iirc they have a a bunch of separate areas of pockets of air. It one of the pockets pops just that pocket pops and he be thing will still float. You would have to pop almost all of these air pocket in the craft to sink.

[@thakidistight]

@@MrSoccerball100 I'm a river guide, I run rafts that are made in a similar fashion. Youre right, the outside layer you see is not what holds air in but multiple inner bladders do that job. Its incredibly difficult to trash a craft like this that badly but not impossible by any stretch. They're great for low head dam rescues but dummies like this take them into water that is too dangerous for traditional rafts, get tossed around like ragdolls with absolutely no control of their boats then go claiming they run unrunnable rivers when in reality it's the boat saving their asses and not their skill.

[@MrSoccerball100]

Gotcha. I didn’t read anything about the guy. I was just watching this without sound at work and was amazed at the craft. I get your point. Kinda like a guy getting shot in his bullet proof vest and saying he can survive a gunshot. Were these things designed for low head dam rescues? I watched the Binghamton disaster and was wondering how a rescue could be possible. That’s when I came across these things. These really are engineering marvels. Watching them make it down the rapid after looking like they were stuck in an impossible spot is really impressive.

[@andrewbrown6522]

It makes it out but the pilot may be little scrambled.

[@Axemanvan]

Have you ever gone whitewater rafting and thought “I wish this felt more like a violent car crash”? well then I’ve the thing for you! Creature crafts; a self righting, inflatable whitewater craft with a seatbelt! Proven on class 6 rapids and proven to break your hips, ribs, and spine!

[@jamieharr4459]

The fact they are strapping themselves to the boat witch is basically disregarding the first rule of being a boatman should let you know how insane these guys are. This isn't a how to boat class six whitewater. This is how to surface drowned yourself to death. It's not if. It's when.

[@gailgator1272]

It's not the same sport as rafting or kayaking different rules starting with equipment. Kayakers strap in with a spray skirt that's why you don't see a lot of sit on tops in class V.

[@jamescrud]

Traditional rafts cannot right themselves so strapping in will result in you drowning. These boats right themselves and strapping in is what keeps you safe. Two different sets of mechanics at work here so 1 rule cannot apply to both.

[@namasivayamm9234]

really great

[@TheFishingGuru46]

Maytag merry-go-round,,, I dig it

[@tankmaster1018]

1:18 thru 1:33 was fucking ridiculous man... That dude dropped straight into the massive hole on POW that makes grown men wet themselves just watching from the side of the road! That hole tossed that guy around like a fucking rag doll.

[@BassPotter46]

Wow!

[@nikkij9745]

Much respect to these guys. I guess someone has to do it.

[@andrewbrown6522]

Just makes me realize how incapable my little adventure boat is. Lol

[@josephastier7421]

These boats can get into a "stable 2" state with the occupant hanging inverted. I think they're safer than traditional rafts but are not without issues.

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Oh my gosh. I don't see much of a LINE through those rapids!

[@petersrightbut8297]

How do these guys fit in those seats with such big giant balls?

[@HELacey]

Where's shaggy?

[@igorushka]

this water craft does not look safe in high turbulent waters.

[@Reachoman]

cool. they look a bit top heavy?

[@gailgator1272]

Hahaha that's funny maybe they use heavy air on the lower chambers. BTW the whole design seems to be built around it not being top heavy.

[@terryknutson3202]

"That damn creature works!!!!!" The one manner ones don't treat you as well do they? Hell of a lot better than going to the chiropractor????

[@johnrflinn]

Somewhere between Mad Max and Waterworld.

[@marthas8108]

So what's the point of even having oars, anymore? They look like upside-down beetles helplessly flailing their legs around.

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

These are such incredible boats.

Good luck with the upstream winds! You'll end up back at Lee's Ferry 😂😂😂

Next..one of those orbs .

[@cityofjoy2576]

How do u breath though...when underwater..

[@starke6666]

You are never really underwater. The shape of the pontoons keep your body ever from actually going under the water even when rotating through holes. That is why being strapped into a seat is not actually as dangerous as if it was a kayak etc.

[@JamesRendek]

I'd love to try that with someone else's body.

[@carmelpule6954]

Life is too precious to risk to this level. They should have oxygen bottles. I feel that this is worse than skydiving with a flying suit.

[@Triscuitwells]

Jesus fuck, and this is why we are getting more and more restricted one what we can do .Because of pussy ass opinions.

[@leeprice133]

Rafts like this are used for whitewater rescue because they are damn near impossible to sink, even in serious whitewater.

[@Aerogrow]

yep; probably mostly training for rescue teams.

[@Kusunoky]

Carmel Pule' at least I will have my small oxygen tank just in case lol. Glad they invited that because so much people have being killed by dam

[@CreaturecraftWaterwog]

MORE! creaturecraft.com/photosvideos/

[@jamieharr4459]

I don't doubt their skills either. I'm sure they all are accomplished boatsmen. Most likely they Kayak bigger shit than you too. There is a reason they are so desensitized to the risks they are taking. Who hasn't pushed on that button. Most of you do it in your car every day.

[@michaelhill56]

These things don't take skills like kayaking. With CCs you point downstream and hang on when you flip. Kayaking requires skills like reading water and rolling. Your point is moot 👎

[@harish1508]

Annoying music

Creature craft is the king of the river....

[@rongants6082]

OK. So, no skill required. You will eventually wash on through anything. If you can hold your breath long enough you will even be alive. Many decades of rafting and kayaking big water. This doesn't interest me in the slightest. Why do they bother to mount oars?

[@flt528]

I just watched a video of a whole trip they did in these things, and I also wondered why they bother with oars. I guess for the flat sections. The rest of the time they're just bouncing along wherever the river takes them. These are swimmies for whitewater.
