Crash and Learn - E2: Minakami Flips

Dealing with Multiple Flips

In episode 2 of Crash and Learn, Trevor and Kailee are looking at an accident video from Minakami Japan. In this episode we’re looking at a video with back to back flips to discuss the importance of training. Rafting Magazine Team Paddlers scour the internet for carnage videos to discuss what happened in these rafting accident videos so we can deepen our understanding of rafting accidents.

In this video we'll be discussing boat spacing, training, communication. The guides in this video show a high degree of professionalism and definitely focus on recovery as well as guest safety. This video highlights why it is so critical that rafters get out and train continuously as well as what to expect when you flip as a less experienced paddler.
