*Safety Watch*
Camping

Avoid the following areas when choosing a campsite:

  • Avoid camping at riversides, on riverbeds, or sandbanks. The weather may change dramatically during the night and water levels may rise quickly.
  • Avoid camping under isolated trees, which might be hit by lightning. Also, avoid camping next to cliffs to avoid falling rocks, trees, or landslides.
  • Avoid camping near dense bushes or weeds, which may contain insects and snakes.

Please take notice the following while camping:

  • Position your camp away and upwind from ditches and toilets.
  • Do not litter, do not dump sewage improperly, picking flowers and chopping trees are prohibited.
  • Do not smoke, light candles, burn oil lamps or mosquito incense inside tents.
  • Watch your children closely.

Water Sports
  • People who have heart and/or lung diseases, asthma or any infectious disease (e.g., athletes foot, flu) should avoid swimming.
  • Do not swim alone or outside of safe areas.
  • Be aware of conditions and avoid unfamiliar or deeply sloping water areas. If necessary, use flotation devices (such as life preservers or air mattresses) to assist with swimming.
  • Avoid unfamiliar areas. Do not jump into shallow water. For long-distance swimming, it is safer to swim along the seacoast, rather than away from it.
  • Do not swim when you have a high fever, after meals, or on rainy days.
  • Rivers and pools may look calm on the surface, but could contain dangerous swirls and eddies. Take extra care.
  • When rafting, always wear a life jacket properly.
  • Do not play or joke about drowning when swimming in the water.
  • Do not dive or jump into the water if you are not well trained.
Mountain climbing
  • Plan well in advance, do not climb spontaneously.
  • Do not hike alone. It is suggested to go in the company of experienced climbers.
  • Inform family or friends of your plans.
  • Always make sure of your position to avoid getting lost.
  • Be well equipped and make good use of the equipment.
  • Climb only according to your capability and condition.
  • Know the weather forecast and be prepared for changes.
Rafting
  • Look for legally registered rafting companies.
  • Listen to the safety presentation.
  • Wear the life jacket and helmet properly.
  • Follow the instructions of lifeguards, avoid dangerous areas or stay in shallow water.
  • Wear suitable clothes and apply sun screening or blocking lotion.
  • Do not swim or raft alone.
  • Do not drink before rafting, nor carry food on the raft.
  • Do not panic if you fall I the water. Remember that the life jacket keeps you afloat. Do not try to stand up in moving water, keep floating with your face up, and try to get to the shore or a boat.
  • Rafting is not allowed for people who have heart disease, high blood pressure, hemophilia, epilepsy, pregnant women, or alcoholics. Children under age 12 and seniors over 65 are not allowed to go rafting.
Paragliding
  • Before flying be sure to join a flying association or club and attend a safety course.
  • Check if you have all the basic equipment needed, fasten straps tightly and check the reserve parachute.
  • Adjust your wireless interphone to the correct frequency and check if the quality of call is good.
  • Acquire a good understanding of the flight route.
  • When in flight avoid buildings, power pylons and other structures and follow these safety rules:
    (1) At all time pay attention to the situation around you, flight route and landing area.
    (2) When two paragliders meet head on both flyers should turn to the right. If there is an obstacle preventing one paraglider from doing this it can fly straight forward
    (3) When paragliders are in a top-bottom position the top one should give way to the bottom one.
    (4) When two paragliders are flying one behind the other the one behind should pay attention to the direction of the one in front.
    (5) When entering a thermal area the direction of the paraglider (s) that enters first should be followed
    (6) Beginner and intermediate paragliders should not fly faster than 15 kmh. Advanced paragliders should not exceed 25 kmh.
  • Find the location of the nearest hospital and aid station before flying and know how to contact the emergency services.
  • Things to avoid:
    (1) Do not fly in air space that is restricted by the government or in airport restricted air space.
    (2) Do not fly if equipment is incomplete or when weather and wind conditions are not suitable for flying.
    (3) Sufferers of heart disease, diabetes and chronic diseases that may affect flying ability should not fly.
    (4) Do not fly when fatigued, short of sleep, depressed or after drinking alcohol.
