It's amazing what goes through your head in a situation like that. It happened so fast, that at first I couldn't figure out why I could not lift my head out of the water. Since it was sudden, I didn't get a chance to take a deep breath. The oxygen depleted, my brain started to panic and I also realized that this lady was sitting on my face. All of a sudden, I have this thought of my obituary.... "Dave drowned in a raft because some lady was sitting on his face." We all had a good laugh over the incident for the rest of the rafting trip.

Not a pleasant way to die, but it is a funny memory and story.
