Outdoor drifting safety tips

Security over the rapids

Reach the rapids before, to predict the flow direction; then greeted us your oars, the pin is retracted inside the boat together, hands grasping on the edge of the boat rope protective, body bent low, do not stand up, hold the boat body weight remained stable, the general can survive.

Out of the whirlpool

River flow is darker, often appear whirlpool, at this time should try to avoid being involved, bypass and. If being involved in it, to keep calm, let the boat along the migratory flow rotating, etc. to swirl when the peripheral, everybody to paddle can break.

To avoid collision

Keep smooth, avoid a collision is drifting process should abide by the principles. It can't escape when the boat body, will control in head-on collision angle ( side impact easily lead to capsize ), who hold on to ropes. After the collision with the boat body parallel to the bank, this side of the occupant to receive the foot so as not to hurt. Sometimes boats and boats will be close to avoid collision, both sides should cooperate with each other to the opposite direction or against the open hull.

Be stranded

Stone dense, channel narrow, shallow water depth, quick, easy occurrence of stranded. At this time do not have to panic, available paddle against the stones, forcing the boat body is left stranded. If this doesn't work, will send water, from the side or the pull or decline the submarine body weight into the water, and pull the boat people to be quick of eye and deft of hand, safety first.

Drowning

Accidentally fell into the water, don't be confound at, life jacket buoyancy to be entrusted to float on the water, and the boat's companion should extend paddling let water grasped. If the water is far from rubber boats, to try to shore or to stay in the stone of the dorsal surface ( surface facing water flow is strong and easy to be rubber boats hit ) wait for rescue.

To capsize

Capsize multiple in fast-flowing area, often because a man overboard and postural instability caused by kayak. Turnover should keep calm, the first submarine body righting boat; to pay attention to both balanced stress, side staff climb boat when the other is to have someone down. Drop the paddle to timely back, or to slow flow zone can use hand pull.

Gas chamber rupture

This is the worst. It is time to adjust the craft personnel location, rupture gas chamber positioned not to sit; try to keep stable and wait for rescue boats.

Drifting some basic knowledge

Drift, this is sports power project, castaway borrow bamboo wooden or rubber, PiFa tools such as in rivers and streams way through the rapids and white-water adventure, can yet be regarded as "zathura." However, in stimulating divert after, followed by sorrow matter also happen occasionally, cover for development operator safety guard poor safety facilities does not reach the designated position, drifting environment sinister, castaway lack safety knowledge, etc.

1. Streams environment volatile, 22-hour risky. Some drifting point set, odd nexus, risks at an organic whole, operator the United States it yue: near misses. Actually everywhere are evil flow, drifting from time to tome shoals scaphoid stone collided. Such environment this have no drifting conditions, development business operators but create conditions the nettle, can have the safety for them?

2. ShaoGong lack of safety knowledge and skills. Suitable for drifting place mostly galloping horse, and because in a hurry, using a temporary development organization fails to training or short-term training of ShaoGong, they there lacks water control of consummate technology, protect others safety and succorance knowledge, meet with sudden incident succorance undeserved, even helpless, caused the disaster.

3. To visitors the lack of safety knowledge propaganda, visitors unadaptable, face and fan. Many drifting points were formulated with safety guidelines, but has not publicly drifting on wall, prior lacks metasomatism, address for tourists in distress, occurred scourge panic.

In addition, lack of water safety facilities, such as not to tourists by distributing life jackets, no in dangerous river set lollypop was gone etc, and it is also easy to cause accident factors. Near misses, are some drifting point development operator vain words, only the safety measures in place, the safety facilities is perfect, without danger drifting sections, then can let visitors to appreciate the real pleasure.
