The injured individual and passenger of Kalispell MT decided to attempt to take   
  their raft over the north side of Kootenai falls. when they went over the falls the raft capsized and both occupants were tossed into the river. Both individuals were wearing PFD's and managed to swim to the island in the center of the falls. onlookers from shore called the LCSO who responded wth search and rescue. a long line attempt was considered but the injured individual had injured his leg so the idea was abandoned. a helicopter was called in and eventually both individuals were lifted from the island and taken to St. Johns hospital in Libby. They were treated for minor injuries and released. Deputies report that they would like to attempt to go over the falls again in the future.
