rafting safety guidelines

Rafting safety guidelines include always wearing a properly fitted life jacket and helmet, listening carefully to your guide’s instructions, and knowing how to respond in emergencies. Stay seated and hold onto safety lines during the trip, and avoid sudden movements or standing up in the boat. Follow the guide’s advice regarding paddling techniques and safe routes. Be aware of water conditions and stay together as a group. If you fall in, stay calm, float on your back, and follow rescue procedures. Proper equipment, clear communication, and awareness help ensure a safe and enjoyable rafting experience.
