RedactedNarrative: A group of 7 guests and two guides embarked on a paddle boarding trip on the Gunnison River during high river conditions. Shortly after the group embarked, they came up to a bridge which required maneuvering around. All operators made it around except for Victim 1 who had their board pinned on the bridge, and Victim 2 who had also fallen into the water. Guide 1 in front was not able to stop as they thought the rest of the group did not have the skill to maneuver to shore safely by themselves. Guide 2 in back saw Victim 1 get stuck on the bridge and tried to swim for them and yelled for them to pull their leash. Witness 1 saw the stuck board/Victim 1, climbed down, and freed it from the bridge. Once Victim 1 was freed from the bridge she continued down stream where she fell from her board and was caught in a strainer and drowned. All members of the party were wearing Type 3 life jackets.
