OMG. I can’t believe how overwhelmed these people are…………They need to get out more…. I can’t continue saying what I really think…..
The current and low water with rocks underneath. You’ll be dragged.
If I recall correctly, one lady got tangled in 4 towels, a life jacket, and a blanket, which cut her legs.
When I went tubing down the Salt River nobody had to go to the bathroom.
HaHaHa
Help help, Im drowning.........
Um......just stand up!".......
Not that easy bud. The high current low water will flip you down.
Tubing the Salt river is a popular activity in AZ everyone I know has done it. The problem here is the afternoon monsoon storms are unpredictable and roll in fast. These folks need to be more aware of their surroundings. There we many clues telling the rafters to get out of the water before it got this bad. However, the is a starting point and an ending point, if you are not rafting you are walking (and no one wants to do that).
But I am impressed with the person who passed the other person, that is skill.
TY, And GBY Heroes ❤
Wow! What caused this? Did they release a bunch of water out of the dam?
Those strainers are extremely dangerous. Pay respect for the power of water.

You should not be out there if you can’t handle it. What did they expect it’s real life out there, it’s not a fake tv show. Grow up and don’t go on the river if you are so incapable to adjust to the conditions.
Our world is doomed...
This is what happens when city folk finally try to go do outdoors stuff. Lmao
