While shooting video @ PSH on Sunday, I happened to capture one of the most terrifying couple of seconds I've ever witnessed on the river, followed by some the the best raft surfing action ever seen.

Watch as the first boat from Class VI enters hell hole and you will see the unknown female guide get her foot entangled in webbing as she gets ejected from the raft. The quick response from a sole customer in the raft prevented this situation from becoming much worse. There's no telling how long this boat would have stayed in hell hole had the BWA's own Tim Miller not came along, knocking the Class VI boat out of the hole, and getting some surf action in himself. Way to go Tim!!

Enjoy!

Talked to Julie from Class VI this morning, and asked about the female guide from the video. She said, that the woman suffered some water aspiration, a torn ligament, and possible broken leg from this incident. Hope she gets better.
