Whitewater Carnage with Entrapment - Safety, Swift Water Rescue

Buy video

Raft guide is entrapped by carabiner in whitewater incident on class IV river. Quick action by other guides present prevent potential loss of life. Very experienced 30+ year veteran raft guide becomes entrapped when his PFD becomes clipped to the carabiner holding his throw rope and a D-ring. An example of this hazard in another raft is shown for clearer explanation. I have noticed many non-locking 'biners holding throw ropes, guide belts, and the like. If it can happen to a 30 veteran guide it could happen to anyone. Use locking carabiners and make sure they are locked on the river.
