White water rafting is one of the most common sports. Millions of people risk their lives every year to go, but when I go rafting I have to decide if I want to go guided or unguided. Unguided rafting is dangerous because of inexperienced people, lack of supervision, and dangerous actions of the rafters. For inexperienced rafters, unguided tours are very dangerous. Someone could get into trouble easily. People might not know what to do if I fall into the water. When I was rafting with my brother, he told me before we even got into the raft, that if I fall out to keep my feet up and butt down. This action is called the free flow position. This position is quite easy to do. I just stay on my back and lie down, keep my feet down stream and steer myself with my arms. If I come across any rocks or debris I can kick off of it. I have done this position numerous times. The free flow position was fun when I was in a small, not very dangerous, rapid, but it is not fun when I am in a dangerous rapid.
