Narrative by (name not provided) on 2015-06-23 (okay to publish): On Saturday, a group of 16 people rafted Triplet Falls on the Green River. After navigating the rapids, four members of the private rafting party decided to hike upstream to run a section known as the “Birth Canal.” The group made it through the rapids on a 9-foot paddle raft but hit a rock shortly downstream, flipping the raft and tossing the four occupants into the river. Three of the four rafters were able to swim to shore. The fourth person was spotted in the water below the rapid before he disappeared. His name has not been released. According to a news release from the National Park Service, members of his rafting party said he appeared to be stuck. “The rafting party observed that his personal flotation device and one shoe popped to the surface where he was last seen,” stated the press release. The group searched for the missing man for approximately two hours before continuing downstream to seek additional assistance, stopping for the night at Rippling Brook campsite. http://www.steamboattoday.com/news/2015/jun/22/denver-man-dies-rafting-accident/
