river rafting

ALWAYS wear a life jacket and helmet. Your life jacket should feel comfortable not too big and not too small. It shouldnt reduce your movements flexibility.

Feel comfortable where you are sitting and know how you can get a good grip (with your hands and feet). The ride will most likely be jumpy and you dont want to fall all the time, right.

If you get to fall in the water, when possible, do try to jump back into the raft; if not, float with your feet forward. Your feet should float right at the top of the water, this will prevent them from getting stuck between rocks or injuring yourself. Let yourself go with the current and NEVER try standing in the river.
