Fun and Accidents When White Water Rafting Down The Upper Gauley

This video shows accidents that could happen when white water rafting down the Upper Gauley if you don't follow our rafting instructor. Luckly during my rafting experience with rafting guide company Class VI nobody in my raft fell overboard this time. But this doesn't mean that people don't ever get hurt or fall out of their raft.

• According to the NCB4 news, NCB4 news a man from Circleville, OH passed away on
