This is a death-defying activity, not for the weak-hearted, especially when you fall out! You are given a 45 minute safety lecture and must sign forms releasing your guide(and company) of all liabilities. Then you have to work your a** off to stay out of the swells and swirls that the river wants you to be in. The water is moving along pretty fast(they told us the volume per second, at the time, but I chose to blank that particular fact out when I was floating solo, quickly down river keeping my legs up in front of me to keep myself from slamming into all the giant boulders). Never again!
