Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500

White water rafting is fun, exciting, dangerous and now Scotland has placed itself firmly on the map as the place to do it. Since the early 1970s white water rafting has become a sport that has grown rapidly year on year. Places such as River Tummel in Scotland are now home to thousands of tourists and experienced rafters alike who take to the water each year. With white water rafting comes more than just adventure, there is the risk of injury as well. That is why anyone who is new to the sport must understand the risks that are involved every time you enter a raft. The fast-paced nature of the sport means literally anything can happen, and not just falling overboard. Steering in and out of obstacles also means that you run the risk of collisions, so it is imperative that you understand the importance of wearing a life jacket and as well as a safety helmet. It is usually the case that rapids are given a rating between 1-5 for how complicated they are, so remember and start low before working your way up. **End Summary** Topics: Recreation and Sports]]> Water Sports]]> Travel and Tourism]]> Outdoors.]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The author Peter Syme of Splash White Water Rafting at scotland - dedicated to the thrill of running wild rivers and offering you the adventure of a lifetime.
