What are the contents of drifting?

Drifting was once a primitive way of wading. Drifting originally originated from kayaks and bamboo rafts of Eskimos in China, but at that time, it was to meet the needs of people's life and survival. Drifting became a real outdoor sport, which began to develop after World War II. Some people who like outdoor activities try to use retired inflatable rubber boats as drifting tools, which gradually evolved into today's water rafting.

The general precautions and contents of drifting are as follows:

1. The drifting period is from April to 10 every year. Generally, the drifting activity period in the central region is slightly shorter than that in the southern region, and it changes with weather and hydrological conditions;

2. It is best to take a clean set of clothes when you leave the boat, and at the same time, it is best to bring a pair of plastic slippers to wear on the boat;

Don't take cash and valuables aboard when drifting. In case of capsizing or other accidents, drifting companies and insurance companies will not compensate tourists for the loss of cash and goods; If you think the opportunity is rare, you must bring your camera. It's best to bring a stupid machine with low value, wrap it in plastic bags in advance, open it when crossing the beach, wrap it when crossing the dangerous beach, and prepare to throw it into the water. If you travel by yourself, you can buy short-term travel accident insurance yourself.

4. The first thing to do when boarding the ship is to read the drifting instructions carefully, listen to the arrangement of the staff, wear life jackets and find safety ropes;

5. If you take part in drifting when the weather is not high, you can buy a raincoat at the starting point of drifting;

6. When the drifting boat passes through the dangerous beach, it should obey the command of the staff and don't walk around casually. It should hold the safety rope tightly, tighten its feet and lean toward the center of the hull;

7. In case of capsizing, you don't have to panic at all, you have to be calm because you are wearing a life jacket;

8. Don't get off the boat and swim casually. Even if you swim, you should swim on calm water according to the boatman's advice, and don't act independently without the hull.

9. Water sports are easy to get wet, and women should not wear too many or too thin clothes when drifting. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to drift in high heels.

10. Drifting is a challenging and dangerous outdoor sport, which is different from ordinary traditional tourism, so it is not suitable for special groups of tourists such as the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the pregnant, so as to avoid safety accidents.
