What should I pay attention to when rafting?

What should we pay attention to when rafting? The matters that we should pay attention to when rafting must be prepared, so that we can travel with more peace of mind. We travel not only for happiness and joy, but also for safety. If we lose safety during the travel, then it is not a truly meaningful travel. Although rafting is a very fun thing, if you don't pay attention to safety, the harm is also very great. So what should we pay attention to when rafting?

Break out of the vortex. When the water flow in the river is deep, whirlpools often appear. At this time, you should try to avoid being drawn into them and go around them. If you are caught in the whirlpool, stay calm and let the boat rotate along with the eddy current. When you reach the outside of the whirlpool, everyone can paddle with all their strength to get out of the predicament.

7. Avoid collision. Maintaining stability and avoiding collisions are the principles that must be adhered to during rafting. When it is unavoidable, the boat should be controlled at an angle to face the collision head-on (a side collision can easily cause the boat to capsize) and everyone should hold on to the ropes. After the collision, the boat will be parallel to the shore. At this time, the passengers on this side should pay attention to retract their feet to avoid being pinched. Sometimes the boats are very close to each other, and to avoid collision both sides have to cooperate by paddling in opposite directions or pushing the boats apart.

8. Stranded. Where rocks are densely packed, the waterway becomes narrower, the water depth becomes shallower, and the current becomes faster, making it easy for ships to run aground. There is no need to panic at this time. You can use the oars to push against the rocks and use force to push the boat away from the ground. If this method does not work, someone must be sent into the water to pull or push the boat from the side to get it back into the water flow. The person pulling the boat must be quick-eyed and quick-handed, and pay attention to safety.

9. Fall into water. If you accidentally fall into the water, do not panic. The buoyancy of the life jacket is enough to keep you afloat, and your companions on the boat should stretch out their paddles for the person to grab onto. If the person who falls into the water is far away from the rubber boat, he should find a way to get ashore or stay on the back side of the rock (the water current on the front side is strong and it is easy to be hit by the rubber boat) and wait for rescue.

10. Capsize. Capsizing often occurs in areas with fast-flowing water, often because someone falls into the water, causing the rubber boat's center of gravity to become unstable. After the boat capsizes, you should stay calm and right the boat first; when re-boarding the boat, pay attention to the balanced force on both sides, and when someone on one side climbs onto the boat, someone on the other side should hold them down. The dropped paddle must be picked up in time, otherwise you can only paddle with your hands when you reach the slow-flowing area. A ruptured air chamber is the worst possible scenario. Adjust the positions of the people on the boat, and do not let anyone sit in the position where the air chamber is ruptured; try to keep the rubber boat stable and go to the shore to wait for rescue.

When you want to go out rafting, you must make the corresponding preparations and take care of yourself to make yourself rafting more healthily. If you make the corresponding preparations when rafting, it will also be for the safety of your body. We also need to pay attention to the matters that should be paid attention to when rafting. When rafting, you must not go to deep water, as this will cause great harm to your safety.
