How can I save myself unexpectedly?This story will teach you

Summer is the multiple period of drowning incident. In the hot August, people like to avoid the summer of the cool water. What should I do if they accidentally fall into the water? Mastering the method of self -rescue of science is one aspect, and more importantly, the mentality of danger. When we encounter danger, if we can still keep our head calm, it is more likely to find the rescue method quickly.

It was the most dangerous canyon river in Colorado, a 10 -mile "white waters". White Water is a crushed wave splash presented when the rushing river flows across the rocks, and the rolling white foam forms a white waters.

At that time, there were seven people on the boat, and the shouting of the guide Broddi was almost drowned by the sound of water.

There is also a stranded boat in front of them, and the people on the boat are waiting for rescue. In order to rescue, the ship of Wyatt and his party deliberately hit it. As a result, their own ships retracted rapidly and were involved in the turbulent water flow.

"Everyone, draw back!" Wyata, who was accustomed to the forward.

When he reacted too late, the boat hit the cliff, and he was thrown out of the boat. The strong river pushed Wyatt, and he looked around, and found that the place where he fell into the water was more than 40 meters away from the boat, beyond Bludi that he could throw a lifeline for him.

However, Blody also said that if the water is falling, it will float on the water on the back, and the feet are facing the lower reaches, so that the legs can slow down the impact of the reef. Wyat kept calm, and then started a textbook -style self -rescue ...

One Minute, Wyatt Was Perched on the Edge of the Rafft Like Everyone Else. The Next, He was falling overboard, right Into the Monstrous rapids.

They were on the Arkansas River, navigating a 10-mile stretch of whitewater that passed through one of Colorado's deepest canyons. There were seven people on the raft: six paddlers and Brody, their guide. Brody had cautioned them that some of the rapids would be intense.

WYATT HAD Become Accomomed to Browy ’s Instructures of" Forward One Stroke! "And" Forward Two! "But now brody was telling them to paddle backward.

Just seconds earlier, they had freed another raft that was hung up on a rock by intentionally slamming into the stalled raft. But the momentum had caused their own raft to enter some tricky rapids too quickly.

“All back, everyone, hard!” Brody shouted. “We do not want to hit this!” But it was too late. The raft rammed into the canyon wall. As they bounced back, one end of the raft was sucked downward. Suddenly, Water Was Pouring in Everywhere.

The paddlers struggled to keep their balance, but as the boat popped back up, Wyatt was thrown backward into the water. His body took off like a shot.He was overwhelmed by the river's frightful power. The water tossed him around, pummeling him with WAVES, PULLLING HIM Under, Thrusting Him Up. He Caoughs WHENEVER He Could.

He lookd over his shoulder, extensing to see brody about to toss him the lifeline, but he’d alream moved 50 yards ahead of the raft.

I can n’t be believe this is happy, wyatt thought. On either size of him, the candyon wants rose straight up like skyscrapers, offering nothing to hold on to.

He tried to remember the safety talk he had funned to.

WYATT ’s Brother, Johnny, Had Leund Toward Him, Whispering," WOULDN n’t be aWESOME to FALL in? "

"Like a fly raide," Wyatt Had Joked, Grinning.

Dad Had Shushed Thies, Making It Clear They Should Be Listening to the Guide.

"If you do fall in," Browy Had Continued, "Do n’t Stand up. Float On Your Back, Feet Facing Downriver and Held High So Your Legs Cushion Any Rocks You Might Run into.

Wyatt Rolled ONTO HIS BACK Now, Pointing His Feet Download, and Lost His Grip on the Paddle That Was Still in his hand.

He Knew He HAD to let go of the identity of the identified to swoop double and save him. I have to get out of this myself, he realized.

He Thought of his Middle-SCHool Basketball TourNament — How He Had Kept Calm and Block Out the Crowd While Shooting Foul Shots. Do n’t Panic.

The river quieted momentarily and Wyatt was able to catch his breath. Around the bend, he saw a stretch of riverbank with some tumbled-down rocks that might provide a handhold.Then he saw something even more promising: the raft they'd freed earlier WAS PULLED Up AlongSide the Riverbank. Its Crew Spotted Wyatt and Started Waving Frantically. "SWIM!" They should.

HIS HOPES Ignited, Wyatt Turned ONTO HIS Stomach and Swam. He Gave it everything he had.

"You can make it!" They yelled.

He was getting closer, but the relentless current was pushing him downstream, away from the raft. Wyatt adjusted his angle by aiming higher upriver and swam even harder, using every last ounce of energy.

Finally, he was just a yard away. Knowing this was his only financial, he too two strokes and lunged for the raft.

ImmediaTely, He Felt Strong Hands Grabbing Hold of His Life Vest and Pulling Him from the River. As he color, someone asked his was ok, but wyatt wid wid

A moment Later, His Team ’s raft pulled up next to them. After wyatt had recovered, dad, brody, and the Other Guide Helped him climb into their raft.

"You did a grade job getting out of a dangerous characterization," Brody Told Him. "You really kept you head."

Wyatt Grinned Self-Consciously, and then Browy Said, "OK, Team. We’ve Got One more set of rapids today, and then we’ re home free. "

Wyatt lookd at him in disbelief.

"Do n’t work. They’ resmall, "" Besides, The River ’s Our only ticket home."
