Is rafting a safe sport?

Drift according to the requirements, there is generally no danger.

There are also some cases of capsizing, which can be bruised**.

Suggestion: Wear a life jacket and helmet according to the regulations, and sit tight when you encounter a large drop during the rafting process!

It's hard to say that the safety factor is high, but there is no danger either, so it is recommended to participate.

Except for a little scratch, there are no other dangers, because there are safety clothing.

The mortality rate of rafting activities is relatively high. Rafting involves exploring natural waters such as rivers and oceans with inflatable boats or other floating tools, and is risky and challenging. Factors contributing to the high mortality rate in rafting include:

1.Water conditions are not allowable**: water currents, floods, waterfalls, etc. are unpredictable, which can easily cause drifters to lose control of their stupid tungs.

2.Capsize or get trapped: Unstable inflatable boats can easily tip over or be damaged, resulting in drowning or injury to drifters.

3.Underwater obstacles and flowing objects: Rocks, branches, whirlpools, etc. in rivers can cause drifters to collide or get bogged down.

4.Inexperience and incorrect outfits: Lack of rafting knowledge and skills, or the use of inappropriate equipment, increases the risk of accidents.

Preparation before rafting: Make a fuss.

1. Long clothes and trousers. The rafting time is long, ** after being exposed to direct sunlight after hitting the water, it is easy to get sunburned, try to wear quick-drying clothes;

2. Sunscreen. Sunscreen (brimmed hats, bandanas, sunscreen, sunglasses, strings, etc.) can be used according to the weather;

3. Beach shoes. The inside of the boat will inevitably enter the water during rafting, and if you are barefoot, it is easy to scratch when disembarking or capsizing, so beach shoes are the best choice;

4. Waterproof bag. The waterproof bag can be used to store mobile phones, cameras, lighters, cigarettes and other items that are afraid of moisture, so it is recommended to put the items in a sealed plastic bag before putting them in the waterproof bag. Because the river is more humid, and the river water is cold and the sun is hot, the waterproof bag will also return to the moisture.

The waterproof bag must be tied to the boat or body with a rope or quick hanging to avoid unnecessary losses caused by accidents and other situations;

5. Water washing tools. You can use any tools such as water bottles and water scoops, and the water scoop is easier to use when there is more water in the boat, and the mineral water is much more convenient when there is less water;

6. Gloves. In order to prevent our little hands from foaming during the rowing, it is recommended that each of us wear a pair of thin gloves.

Precautions in rafting:

1. Life jacket: Before entering the water, you must wear a life jacket, and tie the placket belt and belt tightly, because once the boat capsizes, this clothing is a life-saving baby;

2. Boat: Choose a boat with sufficient inflation and check whether there is air leakage. A boat with insufficient inflation is not only tiring to row, but also has poor elasticity, and is more likely to capsize than a boat with sufficient inflation when passing through certain sections.

In the process of rafting, pay attention to whether the hull of the boat is scratched by sharp stones, once you find or have doubts about the current situation of the boat, immediately report with the team leader or drifter, and then dock close to the shore where you can stay for inspection;

3. Boat driving skills: During the drifting process, the hull should be kept in the direction of the current as much as possible, especially in places where the waves are strong and rapid, and the direction of the hull should be adjusted at any time, so that it is not easy to run aground and capsize;

4. Capsizing and falling into the water (this is the most important): Drifting in the wave river, capsizing is not surprising, basically belongs to the reason for improper operation, and there is no panic after falling into the water, as long as the life jacket is worn and fastened, there will be no danger to life. After falling into the water, the body will have a sinking process, don't be nervous, just hold your breath, the buoyancy of the water and the pre-rescue suit will soon lift you out of the water.

If you fall into the water at the rapids, don't kick and kick the struggle, it is easy to be hit by the stones at the bottom of the river, as long as you keep your pure repentance and keep your body balanced. If you encounter a rock that is out of the water, you can grab it and wait for rescue. If you can't meet it, you will soon have drift guards and teammates to help.

5. Water fight: Rafting is boring without water fight, but don't forget the time when you have a water fight, it will not affect the speed of the whole team!
