Pungas Tri Baruno Dies On Denali, Second Death In One Week On A...

You are making facts up. There was no evidence, no report, no information, nothing indicating that the deceased had a headache prior to collapsing. The deceased NEVER complained of a headache!  (Jul 11, 2008 | post #1)

Rafting

Virginia man dies on Colorado rafting trip

I started working on the Arkansas River in 1985. These water levels are lower than those years. The water appears to be high because we have been in a 7 year drought. We have not even got to high water yet like the early and middle 80's. Besides the three people who have died rafting died of heart conditions, what has that got to do with the water level? You can prove a point by arguing something that is irrelevant to the argument. I'm not sure how people who have very little experience can set themselves up as an expert to testify on the water level of the Arkansas River. For me the water has been very low and is just now getting back to normal.  (Jun 23, 2008 | post #3)

Third Rafter Death on the Arkansas in One Week

You would think that the Colorado Springs TV (KRDO-TV) station would know the difference between a hard plastic one person boat and a large air filled rubber boat. The deceased in this case died kayaking not rafting.  (Jun 23, 2008 | post #1)
