At New & Gauley River Adventures,
safety is our first concern both on and off the river. As in every
adventure sport, there is risk involved in rafting. Yet every year,
hundreds of thousands of visitors go rafting on the New, Gauley and
other West Virginia rivers without incident. Experienced guides,
state-of-the-art equipment and proven safety techniques are all part of
the reason. But the No. 1 factor ensuring a safe trip down the river is
your cooperation and participation in safe rafting.
All of our guides are thoroughly trained,
many beyond the state's already stringent requirements. Your role is to
listen to your guide and follow his or her instructions as you travel
down the river. Rafting is a participation sport -- a crew that works
together and follows instructions is your best guarantee of safety.
We'll teach you all the techniques you need to have a safe and exciting
trip.
New & Gauley's commitment to safety
is also reflected in our up-to-date equipment. Our fully self-bailing
rafts are river-tested to be responsive and dependable throughout your
trip. Our personal floatation devices are top-of-the-line. And our
transportation to and from the river is safe and reliable.
Finally, we'll work with you to accommodate
any special needs or concerns you may have. Be sure to let your guide
know of any pertinent medical conditions you or other members of your
party might have. Likewise, let us know if you require any special
medications or have any allergies that might pose a problem.
Most importantly, if you have any questions,
just ask! Working together, we can tailor your trip to your
capabilities, needs and wishes.
Important Note: We expect
every one of our guests to adhere to the same high level of personal
responsibility. In that regard, alcohol and/or recreational drugs are
strictly forbidden on the river. Violation of this rule will result in
immediate termination of your trip. An impaired rafter is not just a
threat to himself, but to everyone else on the river. Be smart, and be
safe!
