White Water Rafting - Raft Submerged After Rock Impact POV

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


During white water rafting on beautiful Tara river, We made a mistake at the entrance of the dangerous rapid and it catapulted us on the rock. This is just one example of the mightiness of wild rivers, and how they can flip boats in a blink of an eye.
No one was seriously injured in this incident, other rafters gathered us very quickly. Sadly, our raft did not survive, one air chamber was torn apart under the rock and one paddle was lost.

this looks scary! :'(

It was a little bit, but the thrill is what counts. If you have a chance you should try it once, usually it finishes without accidents :)

I cannot believe you caught all this on film. This is INSANE. So glad everyone is safe!

Well, I have like 100 hours of rafting and canyoning actions, but I wanted to see if people like this kind of material.
And yeah, it was insane! My brother was on the other raft behind us, he told me later:

I lost 5 years of my life during these 5 minutes.

You can check this video, its a bit longer and incident free. but still thrilling :)

Oh my, it must have been terrifying from his point of view. I'll definitely check out your other footage. I've never been white water rafting, but hopefully someday I will.

Do it! it is great, just the feel you get while you are riding on the wave, between rocks and water playing ans squishing the raft beneath you. Just to come out into the blueish/green water surface. :)
I am planning my first speleology trip soon, so probably osme cave photos and videos are coming up soon. :)

Sounds awesome I can't wait to see it!! Stay safe!
