You know the guy lived through it, because he’s talking. But you can’t figure out how:
My grandson was a white water rafting guide for much longer than he should have been. Semi-retired and looking for a more stable career now. The fact that his raft flipped on Cherry Creek and he broke bones in his back–no permanent damage–may have influenced the decision. He and his wife did a multi-day trip through the Grand Canyon, for fun.
I always politely declined offers to go rafting with him; but people pay significantly to get soaked and thrilled (frightened?) on ‘technical rivers’. Lots of foreign visitors.
