Introduction * As theme of work, our group decided to do about rafting and bungee jumping. * We chose rafting, because it was practiced by one of us and also chose bungee jumping becauseit is a sport that requires great care.
What is Rafting? * Rafting is to follow the course of a river through their falls and a fast inflatable boat. In each boat can go from 2 to 10 people plus the guide. Is this boat that participants will go down the river, amid rocks and rapids, sometimes calmly others not so.
Dangers * Falls Boat happen. Instructors guide the people to be in a position to help the rescue, by cable or by rowing a rope. The boat can also flip, which still requires other techniques to return to normal position.
Boat * The inflatable boat typically ranges from 4 to 5 feet.The boat is chosen according to the level of the river, a boat too small may not have much stability in some places.
Material * Everyone in the boat wear life jackets, helmets and paddles, being accompanied by an experienced guide.
What is bungee jumping? * Bungee jumping is an extreme sport practiced by many brave adventurers, which consists of jumping into the void tied to a bungee cord.
Dangers * The bungee jumping only offers risk for people who want to invent, create different jumps. Another danger is the poor maintenance of equipment.
Jump * Usually the rope is tied to the ankles, but can also be tied at the waist. The hops usually are made at a height of 40 to 60 meters.
