Fun and Accidents When White Water Rafting Down The Upper Gauley

This video shows accidents that could happen when white water rafting down the Upper Gauley if you don't follow our rafting instructor. Luckly during my rafting experience with rafting guide company Class VI nobody in my raft fell overboard this time. But this doesn't mean that people don't ever get hurt or fall out of their raft.

I want to get attributions to NCB4, The Charleston Gazette and other websites the have provided me with information for this project. I also want to give special thanks to the Class VI rafting company for allowing me to use their video for this academic assignment.
