Raywater rafting is known as the most dangerous sport. What are the specific dangers?

Rapid rafting is indeed very dangerous, and it can easily capsize if done improperly. And most people don't have much experience when they go to play, so they don't know what to do after the boat capsizes and they panic. And some will be injured or knocked unconscious and then lose the ability to save themselves and drown. And sometimes if the amount of water is large, whirlpools may occur.

Try not to get sucked in and go around the whirlpool. Even if you are involved, stay calm so that you can get out of trouble faster. And sometimes the boat may run aground. Once it does, don't stand up and push the boat. You should stabilize the raft first. Try to wait for rescue. Moreover, sometimes the valves are very close to each other and it is necessary to avoid being pinched by collisions between rafts.

The correct approach is to sit on the kayak and don't move around, don't grab floating objects in the water or on the shore, don't grab floating objects in the water or branches. It is easy to capsize the boat, and parents should not take children who are too young to go rafting, and try to be good at swimming when going rafting.

Don’t panic if your boat accidentally capsizes while drifting. Remember to take a breath and hold it in the moment you fall into the water to avoid choking on the water. Since you are still wearing a life jacket, just avoid choking on the water. When crossing a relatively steep river section, be sure to listen to the boatman. Moreover, there is usually a safety rope on the boat. Remember to grab the safety rope, keep your feet together, and stabilize your center of gravity to avoid being thrown out by inertia.

I saw a report before. A kayaker flipped over his kayak. He tried to stand up by using rocks under his feet, but he couldn't. And there was no staff until the end. He was rescued ashore when he arrived at a place where there were many staff. And basically everyone on board was injured. Moreover, the stones under the river are very sharp, and the consequences would be disastrous if they hit people.

It is generally recommended for inexperienced people to go rafting in rivers with relatively gentle currents. Because the gatherings where danger can occur are smaller. And when rafting, your butt must be firmly seated in the kayak and your hands must grasp the inner handrails. Remember not to be thrown out, let alone fall on rocks.

The sport of whitewater rafting is becoming more popular abroad. However, many of the recently opened tourist areas in our country have rafting sports. Friends want to play, but they must do it in a safe way and according to their own physical condition. Don’t go into white water rafting blindly. I still recommend going for rapids rafting in a place with better safety measures. And try not to take children and the elderly to play.
