https://www.creaturecraft.com/.    During the Spring 2017 Creature Craft Pro Team advanced water training & equipment testing tour, Creature Craft creator and owner Darren Vancil was injured during his third run within two days on Sunset Falls (class VI). Sunset Falls is the largest and the final of the three major waterfalls on the South Fork of the Skykomish River near Index, WA.    

During this two day event, the Team ran 13  boats with 14 persons over Sunset Falls at flow of 11,000 cfs (m³/s) [= 311.5 (m³/s)] with only one substantial injury. 

 Prior to this event, there had only been 7 known successful descents of Sunset Falls (one of which was also by Darren and two of which had been completed using Creature Crafts).  As part of Team Creature Crafts commitment to product development, we test our designs to the limit so that you can have confidence in the quality and design of our platform.  Testing to such extremes means that a strong possibility of injury to team members always exists.  This is a short recap of one such injury.
