I was actually on the river when this happened. We just went through the first set of rapids in the middle section, came around the corner, and there was a chopper hovering over the river air lifting someone. We didn't know what had happened, but our guide was saying how it has to be really serious (not just a broken bone) for you to be air lifted off the river. Didn't find out until Sunday that the person had actually died. Pretty tragic.
