If you are looking for a really fun way to feel invigorated and yet taste that adrenaline rush of risk and danger, then white water rafting is the sport for you. It is what has become known as an extreme sport, a little like sky diving whereby the risk of danger is not so extreme as to threaten you but care and safety measures need to be in place. With accident preventative measures, the right equipment, knowledge and responsibility, threat of injury can be largely eliminated except at your own risk.
It is the rush of adrenaline, together with the sheer enjoyment, of course, that makes it such an attractive sport and rafters tend to love this activity and return for more and more. Naturally, as with most sports, the more experienced you become, the safer you can keep yourself. However, when considering white water rafting, whether a beginner or a seasoned regular, it is the standards of the venue that is important. An independent organization, with world class white water rafting facilities should have the required safety standards; these will be incorporated into the infrastructure of raising levels of physical activity in the community and providing an excellent management service. The tricks and techniques of the activity can be learnt and practice will help to perfect skills over time.
Safety guidelines are in place at top level centres with professional back up and expertise to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Certain guidelines have to be met and adhered to, to ensure the safe usage of the facilities and this reflects reputation and calibre of a centre and is always best to check out if you are in doubt.
As a general guide, for white water rafting, all participants must be aged 14 years and above, be able to swim 25 metres, and weigh no greater than 16 stone. At a professional establishment all participants should complete and sign (or be signed by a parent/guardian if under 18) an 'Activity Medical Consent Form'.
However, this shouldn't put anyone off going to experience the joy and excitement of rafting. There is a fantastic new development in the north which has just had a £4.6 million redevelopment and is raring for action. In fact it is one of the UKs newest and best centres. Experience the thrills, spills and the obstacles and drops of world class rafting and a taste of real fun.
