COMMONLY USED LIFE-SAVING EQUIPMENT IN AQUATIC ACTIVITIES
According to www.shmgroup.com, “many disastrous accidents have been averted due to
the timely use of life-saving equipment by the sports enthusiasts as well as the accompanying
experts”. The following are the commonly used life-saving equipment in water sports and
should always be checked for availability.
1. Lifejackets - These can be of help to the person wearing it from drowning. Thus, it is
important to always wear a life jacket throughout the water activity.
2. Safety helmets – They are used mostly for water sports involving a higher risk factor, like
water skiing and kayaking activities, but it is important to use them whenever required.
3. Safety harnesses – They should be tied tightly enough to allow free movement in the
boat or on deck, but not so loose that the person may fall overboard, leading to a lot of
injuries
4. Lifebuoys – These are ring-like flotation devices that prevent people from drowning.
5. First aid kits - It is the first requirement for medical assistance in case of an emergency
and hence is a must-have safety measure on every boat.
6. Maps - It is important to navigate rightly and follow the basic safety rules while taking
any vessel out in the water, be it for rafting or boating.
7. Distress signals – These include light-emitting beacons and flares that are important to
gain the attention of passers-by for help during an emergency.
8. Radios – It will enable the person in need to get in touch with the control center and get
assistance in case of an emergency.
9. Weather Gauge - Carrying a weather gauge at all times helps one stay updated about
the climate and any potential weather change.
10. Personal locator - The beacon is an electronic transmitter that sends out a signal alerting
the rescuers of the location. People regularly use this device for crew saving in lifeboats
and shipping.
