Accidents?

What was your worse wipe-out in the water? Did you get hurt?

I've had many wipe-outs when we are out white water rafting. I've never been hurt yet (knock on wood).

I've never tipped my boat though.

I was tubing once and wiped out so hard that hitting the water felt like I was hitting concrete. The side of my ribcage was actually bruised from the impact, and it knocked the wind out of me. Thank goodness for my life jacket!

I have experienced riding in a boat with some friends that capsized because there was so much movement that it became unbalanced. Luckily, we were all wearing life jackets and were still near the shore.

Wow, I know wiping out is tough. You bruised your ribs? That stinks! I've never really had any bad wipe-outs so far. You know just the occasional falling out of the boat or off the tube.

I don't think I've ever wiped out that badly. I am sort of afraid of water anyway so I'm not much of a daredevil in the water. I can swim, just not well, so I don't take many chances.

I have not ever flipped or anything like that but I have saw several who were alongside me flip their vessels and end up floating downstream.

I've never experienced such thing. I am afraid to ride in boats especially when the current is swift. I prefer to just watch people enjoying the fun.
