💦What happens when a thrilling whitewater rafting adventure takes an unexpected turn?

📸Picture this: my mother and I, filled with excitement, set out to conquer the rapids of the Royal Gorge, Colorado, only for nature to show us (very harshly) that it was always in charge.

This episode of "Tick It Before You Kick It" is packed with adrenaline, unexpected detours, and valuable lessons about the raw power of nature.

🛶Imagine the sheer terror of being ejected from a raft, trapped beneath it, gulping for air while the rapids roar around you. We found ourselves in that exact situation, and the chaos that ensued was nothing short of a nightmare.

😰With emergency whistles blaring and guides shouting instructions, we were in a desperate struggle to rescue everyone, including a young boy clinging to a flipped raft.

🏞️Reflecting on our near-miss adventure, we share the story of a young boy, who narrowly escaped drowning, thanks to the heroic efforts of our guides.

😇This harrowing experience underscored the importance of safety and caution, despite the thrill of the ride.

The intensity of the experience highlights the perilous beauty of whitewater rafting and the need for utmost respect for the river's force😱
