Really bad luck for a whitewater rafter

Rafter pulls out of an eddy to run Dagger Falls on the Middle Fork of the Salmon and gets speared by a tree floating down the river. Unbelievable quick thinking once he realizes his predicament.

Wow.

Been through there a few times with Will and Matt Volpert of IRJ.
Never seen anything like that float down before. Spooky.

Kind of makes you want to stick with the Main Salmon.

- Shelby

Also - Love the head cam vids. Keep 'em come'n !!
