Yaoshan first drift, what you need to know

It is best to wear long clothes and trousers that are easy to dry, so as not to get sunburned by the sun after drowning, and it is best for women to wear dark clothes to avoid drowning embarrassment. It is easy to accumulate water in the boat, so it is best to wear plastic slippers or sandals on the raft.

Prepare a set of dry clothes, be sure to get wet after drifting, and it is more comfortable to change into clean clothes after washing.

Take only drinking water or a small amount of food on the raft to prevent physical fatigue during drifting. If you must bring waterproof items such as cameras and mobile phones, put them in waterproof bags. In addition, gloves can be worn to avoid hand abrasions.

Pay attention to the weather changes, take a raincoat when the temperature is not high, and pay attention to sun protection when the weather is hot.

Be sure to read the drifting instructions carefully, put on your life jacket and find the safety rope before boarding.

Don't do dangerous actions when drifting. Generally speaking, the drifting reach is relatively safe. As long as you don't get off the boat at will, fight with each other, and take the initiative to catch floating objects in the water and vegetation and stones on the shore, the rafting raft will not turn over.

During drifting, the hull should try to keep running in the direction of current, especially in places with big waves and fast current, and the hull direction should be adjusted at any time to avoid grounding and capsizing.

Pay attention to the arrows and signs along the way when drifting, which can help you find the main waterway and be alert to the falling area in advance. When going down the rapids, please keep the balance between the ship and the hull and grab the handrails on the inside of the ship. The latter one will lean back slightly, and the two will ensure the balance of the hull parallel to the river and go down the river.

When drifting, you are not allowed to leave the ship and go into the water without authorization. In case of capsizing, there is no need to panic at all. You need to calm down. As long as you wear a life jacket, you can ensure safety. At the same time, you should actively cooperate with the boatman's rescue measures, carry out rescue, re-enter the ship and continue drifting. Drifting is a challenge of physical strength and courage. While you seek excitement and enjoy happiness, you should also pay attention to safety and master some skills.

1. cross the dangerous beach safely

Before you reach the dangerous beach, you can predict the general direction of the downstream; Then, tell everyone to put back their oars, put their feet together in the boat, grab the protective rope by the side of the boat with both hands, stay down, don't stand up, keep the center of gravity of the boat stable, and you can pass safely.

Rush out of the vortex

When the river flow is large, eddies often appear. At this time, we should try to avoid getting involved and bypass it. If you are involved, keep calm and let the boat spin along the whirlpool. When you turn to the periphery of the whirlpool, everyone can paddle out of the predicament with all their strength.

collision avoidance

Keeping steady and avoiding collision are the principles that must be observed in the drifting process. When it is really unavoidable, the ship should be controlled at the angle of frontal collision (side collision can easily lead to capsizing), and personnel should hold on to the rope. After the collision, the ship will be parallel to the shore. At this time, passengers on this side should pay attention to closing their feet to avoid being caught. Sometimes ships will get close together, so in order to avoid collision, both sides should cooperate with each other, paddle in opposite directions or touch the hull.

be ashore

Where there are dense stones, the waterway becomes narrow, the water depth becomes shallow, the water flow becomes urgent, and it is easy to run aground. At this time, there is no need to panic. You can support the stone with paddles and force the ship to leave the stranded place. If this trick doesn't work, you should send someone into the water to pull or push the boat back into the current from the side, and the person pulling the boat should be quick and pay attention to safety.

Fall into the water

Don't panic if you accidentally fall into the water. The buoyancy of the life jacket is enough to make people float on the water, and the companions on board should stretch out their paddles for the drowning person to climb and catch. If the drowning person is far away from the rubber dinghy, he should try to go ashore or stay on the back of the stone (the water on the surface is strong and easy to be hit by the rubber dinghy) and wait for rescue.

overturn

Overturning often occurs in areas with fast-flowing water, often because someone falls into the water and the center of gravity of the rubber boat is unstable. Keep calm after capsizing, and straighten the hull first; Pay attention to the balance of power on both sides when you board the ship again. When someone on one side climbs into the boat, someone should hold it down on the other side. Pick up the fallen oars in time, or you will have to paddle by hand in the slow flow area.

7. Air chamber rupture

This is the worst case. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the position of the crew on board, and don't sit in the position where the airbag is broken; Try to keep the rubber dinghy stable and dock for rescue.

Precautions:

1. Drifting is an intense sport, which is not suitable for the elderly, children and people with heart disease and high blood pressure.

2. Pay attention to safety, wear life jackets and helmets under the guidance of the staff. During drifting, ships will splash water on each other for fun. Don't go too far when you meet an "enemy ship". Don't deliberately shake the raft or push and pull other people's rafts, it will bring danger.

3, basically the whole body will be soaked, so don't bring anything that can't be wet. The process is fierce, and things like glasses are best tied with ropes to prevent them from falling out. You should also pay attention to your clothes. You know, after you finally get up, you have to walk a short way in a state of soaking wet, and don't wear too loose slippers unless you think it doesn't matter if you lose one.

4. Life jackets and helmets must be worn. The whole person is washed down like this, and it is very dangerous if it is overturned at the rapids of the gap. In case you fall into the water, don't panic. With the help of a life jacket, you will not sink into the water, but drift in the mountains, with many rocks on both sides. Hold your horses and avoid touching stones and trees on both sides. If there is an opportunity, grab the objects on both sides and wait for the arrival of rescuers.

5. Be prepared for the cold. After being washed many times, I began to feel cold. However, there will be ginger soup to drink after landing, so there is no need to prepare too many things to drive away the cold. On the occasion of Children's Day 20 12, the first drifting festival in Yaoshan, which kicked off grandly, launched the slogan of "Without Yao, we are children", making this preferential policy face the whole people. In June 1 day, the original price 128 yuan drifting tickets will only sell for 6 1 yuan, and more than half of the discount will become a powerful new attraction. On June 2 nd and 3 rd, tourists will also enjoy the drifting project at a preferential price of 8 1 yuan.
