Have you ever been on the Elbow? You have to get out an tow your raft sometimes because it's so shallow. Life jackets in the bow for sure, but not the elbow. And the people that drowned going over the weir- life jackets wouyld have made it worse. The only way to get out of the current from the weir is to swim DOWN.

I've been rafting down the elbow many a time, and not once have I, my friends, or anyone I've seen littered, so that's not a concern... and besides that has nothing to do with beer, people drinking pop or water could just as easily litter.
I've never understood why there's such an outrage to people having a social beer in public. It's dumb to get wasted and go white water rafting but the elbow is so tame.

I think rafting is such a harmless, fun activity. It's also one of the few thigns left to which doesn't cost anything.

Aren't there gangs and drug rings to be worrying about???
