Rafting is a recreational activity utilizing a raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water.
Rafts are usually propelled with ordinary paddles and typically hold 4 to 12 persons.
To combat the illusion that rafting is akin to an amusement park ride, and to underscore the personal responsibility each rafter faces on a trip, rafting outfitters generally require customers to sign waiver forms indicating understanding and acceptance of the risks.
