Untrained Staff and No Emergency Protocol. Be Cautious
U.S. National Whitewater Center的点评
点评：Date of visit: October 6, 2025
I want to share my experience so others can make an informed decision. During a rafting trip at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, I was severely injured when the raft pinned me against the rocks on one of the drops. The impact was strong enough to slam me several times between the raft and the rocks. I was stuck for about 10–15 seconds, though it felt much longer.
When I resurfaced, I was in shock, bleeding, and in pain. No one threw a safety line or offered immediate help from the outside. I had to ask for help to get out of the water myself. My left shoe and sock had been ripped off, my ankle was bleeding with bone visible, my right arm had large patches of missing skin, and my hip and lower body were badly scraped.
Despite clearly being injured and limping, no one from the staff offered medical support right away. I had to limp all the way to reception, where a young attendant simply handed me a large first aid kit and asked me to look through it for something that might help. She then gave me wet paper towels from the bathroom to clean my wounds.
She tried to call for help but didn’t know where the medical building was, so I was led to the wrong place before finally arriving at a small medical facility. It wasn’t until about 20 minutes after the accident that my rafting guide and a member of my group started helping me properly.
The Whitewater Center itself is a beautiful place, but their lack of preparedness and training to handle serious injuries is alarming. Accidents can happen, it’s an inherently risky activity, but there should be trained responders ready to help.
This was a traumatic experience that left me in severe pain and shock, and there has been no follow-up or outreach from their team since the incident.
If you’re considering this activity, please be aware that while they warn you it’s dangerous, they are not prepared to handle emergencies.
SIT THIS ONE OUT.

我想分享我的经历，以便其他人能够做出明智的决定。在美国国家激流中心漂流期间，我受了重伤。当时，筏子在一处落差处将我压在岩石上。撞击力非常强大，我被多次撞到筏子和岩石之间。我被困了大约10到15秒，但感觉时间更长。
当我浮出水面时，我处于休克状态，流血不止，浑身疼痛。没有人拉安全绳，也没有人立即从外面提供帮助。我不得不自己寻求帮助才能从水里出来。我的左脚鞋和袜子被扯掉了，脚踝流血不止，骨头清晰可见，右臂大片皮肤脱落，臀部和下半身严重擦伤。
尽管我明显受伤并且跛行，但工作人员中没有人立即提供医疗支持。我一瘸一拐地走到接待处，一位年轻的工作人员简单地递给我一个大急救箱，让我翻找一些可能有用的东西。然后她从卫生间拿了些湿纸巾给我擦伤口。
她试图呼救，但不知道医疗楼在哪里，所以我被带错了地方，最后才被送到一家小型医疗机构。直到事故发生大约20分钟后，我的漂流向导和我的一位同伴才开始对我进行适当的救治。
白水漂流中心本身风景优美，但他们缺乏应对重伤的准备和培训，这令人担忧。事故可能发生，漂流本身就具有风险，但应该有训练有素的救援人员随时准备提供帮助。
这是一次痛苦的经历，让我痛苦不堪，休克不断，而且他们的团队自事故发生以来一直没有进行任何后续跟进或外联。
如果你正在考虑这项活动，请注意，虽然他们警告你这很危险，但他们并没有做好应对紧急情况的准备。
别再犹豫了。
