Yosemite Swift Water Rescue

Water-related fatalities are the leading cause of accidental deaths in Yosemite and the National Park Service as a whole. Yosemite had four drownings in 2016 and several more near-drownings. Hike smart: don't leave the trail. For an audio described version of this video, go to • Yosemite Swift Water R... .

Great video. The general public needs to be reminded of these precautions seasonally. Please keep up your outreach efforts!

Wow! We hope you guys are never needed!! 😱 but when you are, we are so glad there are trained rescuers like you. Thank you so much!

[@Skyclub12]

The best advice ever. Thanks!

GREAT Video and good advice. Unfortunately there is going to continue to be people to dense and/or reckless to take it. People continue to foolishly underestimate nature. All you can do is hope that their recklessness doesn't also cost a rescue worker their life.
