What problems should be paid attention to in hydrophilic swimming in summer?

Among the common outdoor tourism risks in summer, the risk coefficient of wading projects is high, including falling into the water when drifting or encountering heavy rain and flash floods, slipping and falling against the current, drowning while swimming, driving in thunderstorm weather and so on. With the arrival of the summer tourist season, the hydrophilic routes of major travel agencies began to sell well, and the recent surge in rainfall in Guangdong has invisibly increased the risk factor of related products. Before going out for an exciting trip, it is necessary to review the relevant safety knowledge, take preventive measures in advance, and know how to save yourself.

Experience of tourism experts

Q: What are the main types and destinations of summer hydrophilic tours in the province?

A: In summer, island tours, beach tours, rafting and other water activities are the main activities. At present, the most popular hydrophilic products in summer in the province are mainly beach lines and drifting lines, with drifting in Qingyuan and Zhaoqing being the most popular, while beach tours in Dameisha, xiaomeisha, zhapo, Shabawan and Jifang Island in Maoming being the most popular.

Q: What safety measures should tourists pay attention to when visiting the beach?

A: Every area of the regular beach scenic spot is equipped with safety buoys to enclose the safe waters. There are special staff in this area to take care of the safety of tourists. Remember not to swim outside the buoy. In summer, the temperature is high, exposed to the sun, and it is easy to dehydrate when playing on the beach for a long time. It is recommended to go back to the shore every two hours to rest and replenish water in time. Don't play on the beach at noon. Because it is easy to get sunburn and heatstroke, it is recommended to experience beach entertainment after 3 pm. When participating in entertainment projects, you must obey the instructions of the staff and take necessary safety measures. In addition, each beach has a prescribed opening time, which is generally closed after 6 pm. You are not allowed to go to the seaside at night. There is no security guard at this time, which is very prone to accidents.

Q: What are the safety precautions for participating in rafting?

A: Because many rafting falls in the province are relatively large, such as Zhen Xuan rafting and Huangteng Gorge in Qingyuan, and some falls are more than three meters, you must hold the handrail when you take part in rafting, keep your legs straight and wear a helmet all the time. You shouldn't take off your helmet and use it as a ladle. Besides, don't pull branches along the way. Teams are usually arranged to fight water wars in some gentle areas during drifting. At this time, people must be left on the boat, and it is not allowed to jump into the stream and splash water to avoid drowning. If you accidentally fall into the water while drifting, don't try to "salvage" your slippers to avoid accidents.

In addition, it should be reminded that because rafting is a particularly physical activity, the whole journey often takes one to two hours, and it is easy to collapse on an empty stomach. It is recommended to eat before departure. In addition, women should avoid the physiological period when they participate in rafting activities.

Q: What should the delegation pay attention to when encountering the common rainstorm and strong convective weather in summer?

No matter what kind of trip you take, you should keep in mind that safety comes first. Under normal circumstances, if you participate in a group tour of a travel agency, the travel agency will change the itinerary in time when you receive the safety warning of the scenic spot due to the weather. For tourists, the current weather forecast is very accurate. If you are in doubt about the weather before going out, it is recommended to call the tour leader in advance to ask if you can leave the group normally. Self-help tourists should pay close attention to the weather and arrange their hydrophilic trips reasonably.

Outdoor wading safety reminder

The most common activity of island tour is swimming in the sea. For the sake of safety, try not to go into the water alone, walk with each other and take care of each other; When participating in water sports, you should do what you can according to your physical condition at that time, and don't blindly follow the crowd; Adults should not let their children leave their sight and avoid letting them move alone.

To do outdoor activities in summer, we should first pay close attention to the local astronomical and weather changes. When we take part in outdoor wading activities and find that the water quality suddenly becomes turbid, it may mean that a flood is coming. At this time, you should immediately stop your activities and evacuate ashore. If it rains when climbing a mountain, you should choose a suitable place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, or evacuate by the same route immediately.

Pay attention to prevent lightning strikes in strong convective weather. First of all, don't ride a bike, ride a horse or fly a kite in a thunderstorm, because flying a kite in the rain may lead to lightning strikes. Secondly, try not to choose isolated houses for shelter from the rain. The buildings are safer. At the same time, don't hold metal objects (including umbrellas with metal handles) or use mobile phones. Finally, if you suddenly encounter a thunderstorm while swimming or taking a cruise, you should stop playing and go ashore immediately.

If you choose to camp in the mountains, you should try to avoid the rainy season. When camping, try not to camp at the foot of the mountain and on the river bed to prevent landslides or flash floods.

Strong convective rainstorm reminds you to travel.

Because the road surface is slippery in rainy days and the braking distance increases, the brakes are easy to fail when emergency braking is taken; In addition, the window fogs in rainy days, which reduces the visibility and affects the driving vision. In order to ensure the safety of the journey, it is not recommended to go to go on road trip in rainy days.

If you encounter a sudden rainstorm during your journey, try not to drive at risk and choose a higher safety zone to stop and wait; When driving, slow down as much as possible, move slowly with a small throttle, use the brakes carefully and pay attention to the road conditions; When passing through an unfamiliar road section and the depth of accumulated water on the road surface is unknown, try not to wade forward; For car owners who don't have the automatic heating function of rearview mirror, the rearview mirror will accumulate water in rainy days, which will easily lead to blind spots. Be more careful than usual when connecting lines, carefully observe decisive actions, and whistle appropriately to remind you; If the rain is heavy, you should turn on the double flashing lights while turning on the fog lights, and appropriately widen the distance from the front car to remind the rear car to follow the car safely and avoid rear-end collision; In case of thunder, close the window and stay in the car, which can effectively avoid lightning strike; If the car encounters water and stalls, it can't be forcibly restarted. You should contact the insurance company as soon as possible and notify the nearby 4S shop for rescue to avoid complete engine damage.
