What it looks like to ALMOST fall out of a raft

#1 Post by BackInTex » Mon Jul 04, 2016 10:42 am

While whitewater rafting in Montana last month, I almost fell out of the raft. We did not see the rock (though clearly visible in the video) and I was caught leaning back a bit. My legs never left the boat, but my upper body and head got wet.

The rest of the trip down the Gallitin River was fun but uneventful.

The spill happens about at the 50 second mark.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

I can't tell from the video what rock you hit. It's just like you decided to roll over (but the rest of the raft didn't join you, which makes your experience different from my kayaking adventure in Alaska, some years ago).
