Perhaps this river rafting rescue in the Grand Canyon required the use of helicopters, motorized Zodiacs and 14 Park Rangers, but there is a chance it did not.
The best place to learn how to deal with river rescue scenarios is by taking a white water river rafting rescue course with one of the dozens of commercial outfitters who offer training courses. (http://orionexp.com/river_
Our company, Orion Expeditions, offers an outstanding course each spring but I would also recommend Whitewater Voyages (http://www.whitewatervoyages.
Accidents, like the one related in this post, happen. Much of the time, however, with the right training, a simple rescue, without the technology, will suffice.
