Water safety: rules of behaviour and necessary skills for rafting
Rafting is a thrilling and exciting adventure that attracts outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. However, in addition to the adrenaline rush, rafting carries certain risks, and safety on the water becomes an important aspect of this exciting activity. In this article we will look at the basic safety rules and necessary skills for those who are about to embark on a rafting trip.
Equipment and outfitting:
First of all, it is important to choose the right equipment. Each participant must be equipped with a lifejacket, which must be securely fastened. A helmet should also be used to protect the head from hitting rocks or other obstacles. Whenever possible, sunglasses should also be worn and special footwear that locks the foot well and does not slip on wet surfaces.
Instruction:
Before heading out on the water, the rafting group should be given a detailed safety briefing. This includes proper oar handling techniques, instructions on behaviour in the event of capsize, as well as instruction on self-discharge and balance techniques in the current.
Knowledge of the river and conditions:
Each river has its own peculiarities, and before starting rafting it is important to study its route, flow characteristics and possible dangers. Particular attention should be paid to sections with fast currents, waterfalls, underwater rocks and other potentially dangerous places.
Communication and interaction in a group:
Co-operative teamwork is the key to safe rafting. It is important to discuss plans and strategies clearly and concisely before each river section, and to inform each other of possible hazards and changes in flow.
Rescue and first aid skills:
Despite all precautions, sometimes accidents can happen. Each participant should therefore be aware of basic rescue and first aid skills. This may include self-rescue techniques, CPR and heart massage, and how to stop bleeding.
Adherence to rules and instructors' recommendations:
Always follow the instructions and recommendations of the instructors. They have experience and knowledge that can help you avoid dangerous situations and make your journey more enjoyable and safer.
Rafting is an exciting adventure that can deliver unforgettable experiences and emotions. However, safety should always be a priority. Following simple rules and having the necessary skills will allow you to enjoy this outdoor activity, minimising risks and ensuring maximum protection.
