do u mean "real wicked" or "just having fun wicked". I feel like still going for WWR with my bunch (age 3 - 9) and will feel comfortable as long as :
1. Raft will NOT capsize and the guide does not try to capsize the raft on purpose....
2. Kids will not fall into water as long as they sit in the centre.
My kids listen to instructions and are comfortable in water w a life jacket.
I rmbr once when i did rafting in kedah malaysia, the guide purposely rocked the raft so hard that the raft capsized and i fell into the rushing river. thank goodness i remember the position they told us to be in, otherwise god knows how many cuts i will receive on my body. the river was very rocky.... Now for kids, how can they remember? they will just panic.....
