I did some guiding on the Wenatchee for a company that did not offer helmets to the clients. As guides many of us had swam quite a few of the rapids and one or two of us bumped our heads hard enough to realize that it was probably a good idea to wear a helmet. That being said, we ran the river down to some pretty low levels (700 CFS) and had plenty of clients swim and never saw or heard of a single one bump their head. While it only takes one serious incident to make helmets feel like a necessity, for the most part the Wenatchee is fairly safe. At higher water there aren't many rocks. and at lower water it is slow enough that you likely wouldn't hit one very hard. I think most rafters are playing the odds in this case and considering the amount of people that go down that river versus the injury rate it just doesn't seem to be a necessary investment.

I'm not saying I don't support your idea and I agree (as someone who wears their helmet), but I think convincing commercial operations to invest will be difficult. We as guides have had that conversation and it didn't go anywhere.

I think playing the odds like that is dangerous. Wearing helmets is one simple proactive thing we can do to protect people. All it takes is one bad accident...

I also think that "we've been doing it this way for 40 years" is backwards thinking. We know the risks and we should wear helmets. In my opinion. I did start this hoping to get more opinions.

Yeah...I would get the same question quite a bit. I always just said that with being on the river every day I was much more likely to hit my head trying to save someone or do something dangerous. You aren't being self righteous at all. Safety comes first in any sport. I'm always baffled when I see climbers or cyclists without helmets. I think the only way to pose it tactfully to a guiding company is to lay out the cost of one lawsuit versus the cost of buying helmets.

Yes, it is proving to be very difficult. I'm trying to gauge just how self-righteous I'm being about this. One of our customers hit their head in snowblind last summer, but it wasn't serious. I always wear mine and it freaks out the guests sometimes, "why didn't we get one of those?"

I think when one recovers a body with a super clenched jaw- and he wasn't wearing a helmet, your perspective cant help but change.
