Von der hinteren Coverseite

Floating on rivers can be some of the most fun you've ever had, but like any outdoor sport, it has its risks as well. Stan Bradshaw wrote this book to help people "avoid becoming an accident statistic."
River Safety helps new boaters embark on their river trips the safe way and the smart way. It gives the novice invaluable tips and life-saving strategies. The chapters dissect the basic areas of knowledge a boater should have before attempting to go out on the water. Chapters include details on the following:
River terminology; reading the water; navigation; basics of river rescue; and much more!
After reviewing dozens of river accidents, Stan Bradshaw has found the most common mistakes, and the simple knowledge it would have taken to avoid them. Take the proper precautions, know your facts, and always put safety first.
