SAFETY
BRIEFING
A detailed safety
briefing will be conducted before each trip. The rafting team
for the trip explains what to do if the raft flips, how to help
each other out of the water and what conditions to expect.
We always gives
the worst-case scenario so that people know what to expect from
the trip and, therefore, have the choice to forego their trip
after the safety talk. Once in the raft, you are instructed by
your rafting guide as to how to negotiate the rapids and some
practice is done before you set off. You are also briefed before
each rapid on how the raft is expected to react.
SAFETY
AND PRECAUTION
We always
ensure all the participants wear a life jacket.
We do not
overload the raft.
We do not go
rafting after/during a heavy rain.
Our guides
are qualified and well train.
We are well
know local weather conditions. We make sure the water and
weather conditions are safe. Because water conducts electricity, it is wise to stop swimming, boating, or any
activities on the water as soon
as you see or hear a lightning.
PRACTICAL
RAFTING TIPS
All
rafters will be given a safety briefing before the ride and will
be shown basic backward and forward paddling techniques. Always
check that the helmets and life jackets provided fit you well
and are not too tight or too loose.
Your life
jacket will buoy you in the eventuality of the raft overturning.
If you've over-turned close to the river bank, don't use your
raft paddle, as you may hit someone else. Do not attempt to use
the paddle as a lever against rocks as you risk getting hit by
it.
The
following are some points to remember:
Bring a
change of clothes. A warm-up jacket is also a good idea.
Wear
well-fitting shoes or diving booties
Jewellery
which cannot be secured firmly should not be worn while
rafting.
Those
wearing glasses are reminded to use an elastic sports
sholder to anchor their spectacles.
Contact
lens users are advised to wear spectacles instead, in order
to cut down the risk of their lenses getting contaminated by
river water.
