Fortunately, none of the four rafters were hurt.
Four people were rescued from a fast-moving river in the American state of Colorado after the raft they were on began filling with water and ended up getting pinned against a large rock. The
Eagle River Fire Protection District posted pictures and videos of the dramatic rescue on their
official Facebook page.
According to the fire department, of the three men and one woman aboard the raft, only one was wearing a life jacket.
"Hold on tight," yells a rescue worker as one of the rafters jumps into the river after strapping on a life jacket. For a brief, terrifying moment, he disappears under the water. As rescuers pull him towards safety, a person can be heard urging in the background: "Don't let go!" In less than 20 seconds, he's out of danger.
The rescue took a little over an hour to complete.
Fortunately, no one was injured.
