Taiwan River Accident Database

In Taiwan, between river tracing, canyoning, pack rafting and white water kayaking, likely more than a dozen river trips occur daily. The growing popularity of recreational canyoning, which has a lower barrier to entry and higher risk compared to river tracing, has resulted in an increase in accidents over the past several years. Members of Taiwan’s canyoning community have taken it upon themselves to aggregate all available public reports. The hope is that the openness of this database can cultivate a culture of openness, transparency, and altruism when it comes to systematically documenting and analyze accidents for the good of the community.
