Is whitewater rafting scary?
Usually, people begin a raft trip with expectations and pre-conceived ideas about what the trip will be like. Sometimes these expectations increase the apprehension level at the beginning of the trip. As everyone gets comfortable in the raft and running rapids, the apprehension disappears and is replaced with excitement. Most of the time, fear is more determined by what our minds perceive than the actual danger involved in the activity. Remember, if rafting wasn’t a little scary at times, it wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable.
