Question

How many deaths in the u.s. per year in white water rafting and where are they?

Answer 1

This is what I've found so far:

Fortunately, deaths are relatively rare in whitewater rafting and kayaking. A report from American Whitewater in 2000 by Laura Wittmann, based on data from 30 managed rivers from 1994 to 1998, calculated the fatality rate of all whitewater participants (rafters, canoeists, and kayakers) at 0.87 per 100000 user days. Data from West Virginia from 1984 to 1999 showed only 11 fatalities in approximately 2 million commercial rafters, for a fatality rate of 0.55 per 100000 rafter days.

According to American Whitewater, the number of rafting deaths that were reported to them were (they didn't state where the deaths occurred):

2005: 19;  2004: 14; 2003: 9; 2002: 9; 2001: 16

Good luck!
