The current flow (CFS) for the Split Mountain section of the Green River as of today (September 22, 2025) isn't available in real-time through public USGS gauges without direct access to hydrological monitoring systems, and the search results provided don't contain current river flow data. However, historically, this stretch is typically runnable from around 2,000 to 16,000 CFS, with optimal levels often between 4,000–8,000 CFS for packrafters and kayakers. Your run at 7,200 CFS was solidly in that sweet spot—challenging but manageable, especially with those class 3 rapids like "SOB" and Moonshine throwing some serious holes.

As for injuries or fatalities specifically on the Split Mountain run of the Green River:
There are no widely documented deaths directly tied to this particular stretch in recent public records or incident databases. That said, the Green River as a whole—especially through Desolation and Gray Canyons—has seen accidents over the years, usually involving hypothermia, swim scenarios in cold water, or entrapment in hydraulics during high water. Class 3 rapids like SOB can become deceptively dangerous at higher flows (e.g., near 14k–16k CFS, as you mentioned), where holes deepen and escape becomes harder.

The search results you’re seeing refer to a vehicle crash and fire in the I-80 Green River Tunnel near Rock Springs, Wyoming—a completely different location and context (a highway tunnel, not the river). Those incidents involved 3 fatalities and 18 injuries from a multi-vehicle collision in February 2025, but they are unrelated to river recreation.

Bottom line:
Split Mountain remains a moderate-risk, high-reward packrafting run. While serious injuries are rare, they’re not impossible—especially when running blind into big water or without proper scouting. Your group’s experience flipping in SOB at 7,200 CFS shows how quickly it can get real. Always check current flows via the USGS Green River near Jensen, UT gauge (09315000) before launching, and scout if you're unsure.

Stay safe out there—and maybe keep that phone in a dry bag this time. 🛶💥
