A woman who was rafting on the Colorado’s Arkansas River over the weekend is alive and well after she fell off her raft and plunged into the violent water.
The incident occurred in the Sunshine Falls area of the Royal Gorge, authorities say. The unidentified woman was thrown from her raft when it hit fast-moving water, says a rep for Performance Tours.
Fortunately, another rafter was on hand to help. “When we went into that falls, we hit pretty hard and she bumped into me and fell off to the side,” says bystander Chris Dean, who dove in and rescued the woman. “I was pretty scared for her because I knew it was rough. And I don’t want to be in the water either, so it was scary, I think, for everyone.”
