On my last trip, this lady put a waterproof camera on the front of her lifejacket and filmed us going through Lava Rapid. It's the last rapid on the 6 day trip and it's a class 10. It's hard to really get the full effect but it gives you a little idea. It gets knocked a little skiwampus so you don't see the whole thing but look for the lady next to the one filming that falls off the seats they're sitting on. Then look for my shadow there holding her and giving the boatman the OK sign, it's pretty funny.
My computer is going to slow to upload the video, so just click here to see it.
Also, earlier on that same trip, a guy fell off the front of the boat in Crystal, which is a pretty dangerous class 10 and we didn't get footage of it, but here's a video of someone falling off the same way he did but the video is of Hermit. Luckily on our trip, he was able to stay holding on to the front ropes. You'll see the guy in the video hanging on the front for a second, then he falls off, so look close. Enjoy!

Sweet video. It took me back. You are so lucky to be down that beautiful canyon all summer long.
