What are the precautions for rafting?

Many people go rafting in a certain period of time. Rafting is a happy thing for many people. It is also a very relaxing thing to do rafting in summer. Many people will go traveling and rafting when they feel stressed. In this way, they will feel that rafting is really meaningful. Although it is fun to do rafting, you still need to pay attention to the matters that need to be paid attention to, otherwise the rafting will be very unsafe. So what should you pay attention to when rafting?

1. The rafting period is from April to October every year. Before departure, you should try to choose simple and easy-to-dry clothes, but not too thin or too light in color, otherwise you will be embarrassed if you fall into the water. In addition, bring a set of clean clothes to change when getting off the boat, and a pair of plastic slippers to wear on the boat. If you participate in rafting in low weather, you can bring your own raincoat or buy a raincoat at the rafting departure point. Friends who wear glasses, please find a rubber band to tie their glasses.

2. Do not bring cash and valuables on board when rafting. If the boat capsizes or other accidents occur, the rafting company and the insurance company will not compensate tourists for the lost cash and valuables. If you feel that you must bring a camera, it is best to bring a low-value point-and-shoot camera, wrap it in a plastic bag in advance, open it when on a flat beach, and wrap it up when passing a dangerous beach. Be prepared to throw it into the water.

3. The first thing to do when getting on the boat is to read the rafting instructions carefully, follow the boatman's arrangements, wear a life jacket, and find the safety rope; when the rafting boat passes through dangerous rapids, you must obey the boatman's instructions, do not move around casually, hold the safety rope tightly, tighten your feet, and lean your body toward the center of the hull; if the boat capsizes, you don't need to panic at all, you must stay calm, because you are wearing a life jacket; you are not allowed to get off the boat to swim casually, even if you swim, you should swim in calm water according to the boatman's advice, and you are not allowed to move independently away from the hull.

4. The drifting boat is made of polymer material and has three independent air chambers. There will be no leakage problem under normal use. Since the stream is not deep, even if there is a problem, you can go ashore in time, blow the distress whistle on the life jacket, find rescuers and change the drifting boat.

5. Cross dangerous rapids safely. During the rafting process, please pay attention to the arrows and signs along the way. They can help you find the main waterway and alert you to the falling water area in advance. Before reaching the dangerous shoal, you can first predict the general direction of downstream; then ask everyone to put away the oars, bring their feet back into the boat and close together, hold the guardrail on the edge of the boat with both hands, lower the body, do not stand up, stabilize the center of gravity of the boat and keep it stable, and you can generally get through safely.

These precautions can help us take effective safety measures when rafting. Only when we take safety measures can we spend the rafting holiday more smoothly and safely. We must also pay attention to protecting our own safety when rafting. If we want to be safer, we must pay attention to these common sense. When rafting, we must also pay attention to the tools we bring. It is best to drift smoothly.
