you should have tried to get to shore or get into an eddy but instead you decide to let yourself get beat up and almost pinned

ah the joys of having fun on the water

missed the eddy river right above pyrite because camera adjustment was more priority? take your beating and get back on the horse.....and I've taken many too

It's all fun and games until it's fuck no.

Everyone says they want adventure travel until they really get it. True Adventure means something can and probably will go wrong. I was an international Guide for Sobek (the original adventure travel company). It pays to have stern and frank safety talks prior to each section of a wild River - to allow the guests a graceful no ego bruising out.

Well

May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

Not going to pile on and armchair QB here. I'm sure if you had to do it over again, you might skip class V's on the first trip. If nothing else, this video of the experience shows what you or all should try to do next time you get thrown in. Foremost, with little or no prospect of help downstream, you have to fight (not panic) to try to save yourself.

No sense of self preservation! Didn't try to avoid objects or try to swim into one of the many eddies!

Is that pine creek rapid in Colorado

...crying like a bi___... never even tried to swim? didn't fail, failed to try... You are lucky others literally plucked you from the water. Maybe worry less about the gopro next time...

You panicked

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Been a few times on guided 3-4’s and it’s sorta fun and gets your blood going but if I never do it again I’ll be good.

this is flirting with painful death. Large sharp rocks in fast water and no way to get out if ANYTHING goes wrong.

SWIM!!!!!! Don’t just float

"Class 5 first time".............................don't bother considering Rocket Science.

I've done a number of 3's and some 4's in the Smoky Mountains region and ejected a couple of times- no issues with the self rescue, but they are nothing compared to these 5's- wow. Some of these 5's I've watched videos of...looks like there are all kinds of possibilities of getting pinned. Scary stuff.

What an ass kicker or a swim. Hope you thanked that kayaker for dragging your ass out of the water lmao

Water good. Rock bad. Boat best. Swim to the eddy as opposed to slamming into a rock.

Gore takes more than class 3 experience for sure. Very few outfits run it commercially. Glad you all are ok.

Gore Canyon is just so awesomely beautiful. Toughest commercially-run whitewater on the entire Colorado river though, unquestionably.

Chills

I like doing this in Pennsylvania

The Lord Jesus Christ had mercy on you that day! Very scary situation - glad you made it out alive!

Anybody else hear the guide call out a highside left right when they hit, then correct it to a highside right as they where pretty much already doomed. Don't think it mattered because the camera man and the paddler next to him didn't seem like they knew that call anyways.

2:41 "there's a nice eddy to swim into... instead i think I'll just float over Pyrite Falls...."

I whitewater kayaked and rafted 4 years as well guided 2 in Browns Canyon Colorado. During el Nino 97-98 I saw a man pass away!! 😕 He wasn't wearing a helmet and hit his head on a rock and drowned. I, like what some of the other comments are saying agree that it's best to relax and ride the storm. I also grew up next to the wedge in Newport Beach CA and rode some pretty big waves bodyboarding and bodysurfing. The one thing I learned is to relax. Freaking out you use more oxygen and you aren't thinking straight. You made it and that's awesome!!!🙂 Also in the ocean where I'm from there is no rocks so another piece of advice that is generally taught is keep your feet up and pointed down river. Rafting and other river sports are so awesome and not a day goes by where I don't miss it. Hope this experience doesn't stop you from trying it again. Stay safe!!🙂

Worried more about that camera..

Holy $hit.. im not going there!!!

Wasn't even in a self-bailing raft. Really?

I hope everyone was okay! I'm a reporter for Caters News and we're putting a new tv series together which this footage would be great for. Can you please email me at alycecollins@catersnews.com for details - thanks!

The fact that you thought this would be a good first river. I'm lost for words but it's real stupid. Anyway, cool video. Cheers

Lol, good thing there was a kayak. That guy had zero instinct to swim.

This is why I pulled people out of the Colorado River both alive and dead when I was doing whitewater rescue work. People who didn't know what they we're doing, People who underestimated the awesome power of a big volume River.

Addendum. I said normal flow is 2500cfs. Mea Culpa! Normal flow is 500cfs. Flood stage is 2500cfs. We ran it at 3x flood stage. Sorry for the misinfo.

Been there, done that. The BEST visual representation of what it is actually like when you take a dive. Mine was on the Tuolumne the spring after the disastrous winter floods, the ones over twenty years ago that flooded the Yosemite Valley & rearranged the rapids run on the Merced. Normal flow on the T is 2500cfs. We ran it at 7500cfs. I was in front left & the waves were over our heads constantly. We literally had to punch through the waves to ensure that they would not push us sideways and tip us. We made all but one. Your reaction is 100% authentic as well. You are in a bit of mild shock. You struggle to get a full breath (I could tell you another story about that); & you're not very responsive. Recommended viewing for any newbies or wannabes.

How many eddies ya just gonna float by??

Your guide sux. I recognize stupidity when I see it...

I’m not sure about it being the three hardest commercially run rapids. Lava? Crystal? Big drops?

Keep up the good work and you will make it to 1m subscribers

Your so lucky to not have swam toilet bowel but still going right on pyrite does not look fun

Yah lost your paddle, but kept and checked your gopro a few times; happy rafting.

He falls out shortly after 2:00.

Nice video man! Glad to see you got your moneys worth!

Gotta stay cool. I've had some rough swims myself. Probably five times longer than that and wasn't near as shook up. But I trained for a hard swim because I knew I was really green. Hard swims build charicter. Get on some easier water and build up to that level.

I'm a WW rafting guide and this is exactly why we suggest you have rafted at least a class 3. Also, exactly why we instruct guests to be a part of their own rescue. Gore is amazing and fun, but it can also be dangerous. Respect the river. You're lucky to be alive!

this should be called, " absolute zero self-rescue!"

at 2:38.. seems he could have swim himself out in the eddy on the right.
