Whitewater rescue podcast: Stories of whitewater river rescue, accident reports and analysis, and river safety education. We can learn a lot from our mistakes, so let's help each other navigate the rivers safely. If you have a story you'd like to share (great rescues, near-misses, epic beatdowns, or other mis-adventures), send a brief description to [email protected]. We focus on non-fatal incidents only, out of respect for victims' friends and families.
