Diving Emergency Procedures

Here are a few of the special self-rescue and life-saving techniques on the river. If all members are familiar with these procedures and can operate calmly and quickly, these emergency situations will not become serious.

A. Swimming through the rapids Although it is considered dangerous, it can really be fun. You should calmly face the rapids and use your feet to avoid the rocks in front of you. Gently lean back and let the paddle hold its own direction. Take a deep breath in the big waves and hold your breath to face the foamy wave, wait until the rapids enter the shore vortex or return to the boat. The most frightening thing is between the ship and the rock. So stay away from the boat, especially on the side of the river. A vertically raised paddle marks the other ship. There is a man on board. The cold water can deplete the swimmer's strength in less than ten minutes and should be especially careful. Persons who swim remotely should be rescued against hypothermia and shocks.

B. Colliding with Rocks If you find that you cannot avoid rocks (this situation does exist), you can turn the bow before the collision or hit the bow against the rock. Turning the bow will gently rotate the boat, bypassing the rock; hitting the bow against the rock will immediately stop the boat, but it will allow you to adjust the course with some rotation. If there is rock on the side of the ship, all crew members should jump right to the side of the ship closest to the rock before hitting it. This weight will allow the downstream boat to bypass the rock and the countercurrent will allow it to flow higher. Otherwise, the water will rise against the current, suck it down, and wrap the boat flatly next to the rock. Unencrusted ships can often get out of trouble. It may also be helpful to detect the rock in front of the water, push it open and let the crew turn to the back, paddle the paddle, and skip the standing at the bottom of the boat. It may also be helpful. Once free, a ship that has been hit is very Difficult to operate because it contains many tons of water. The first step is to scoop water and try your best to stop the boat in calm waters.

C. Subsidence If the above situation of B (collision with rocks) causes subsidence, use the rope to seek help from the shore. One such ship is often entangled with several tons of power, but usually one is not so severe. Use a thick rope to form a D-ring, pass through the waterway, (need to make a hole in front of it), or frame behind the boat. A lifting system (made of butterfly-shaped rings or carbine wheels) can be used to help lift. Try to pull up the boat and leave the waters. Use a bow or stern line to help pull to the shore. If all of the above efforts fail, people and things line up on the shore and wait for the water level to change. It is most dangerous to avoid sinking the ship during a torrent adventure. It is more important to keep in mind that each person's life is safer than leaving the ship away from the rocks.
