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 give 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.
Kampar Rafting Safety and Precaution :
- Rafting is safer then crossing road
- 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 trained.
- We 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 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, rubber shoes or sandals.
- Jewellery which cannot be secured firmly should not be worn while rafting.
- Those wearing glasses are reminded to use an elastic sports band 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.
