Producerchick probably has as much or more experience then the other commercial yahoo customers (no offense anyone) that hit up Gore. The outfitters do a reeeeal good job pre-screening custies for that trip. Gore rapid is typically a portage for the guests. Bottom line is like any trip, know the risks, swims are very possible, maybe even 50/50.
Expect safety kayakers, and guides with a gazillion miles of class IV and V experience. FYI- the stats in Gore Canyon commercial fatalities are a lot better, probably due to the pre-screening, extra safety, experienced guides, customer training, etc. (Zero so far vs. average of one or two per year on Brown's Canyon)
