Warning after boating accident: Ignoring safety rules before boating can prove costly, definitely know the safety tips.

Tezzbuzz Desk- The tragic accident that took place near Bargi Dam in Jabalpur has shocked the entire country. Many people drowned when the cruise ship capsized in the water. This incident has once again raised the question whether we follow the necessary safety rules while boating?

Increasing negligence at tourist spots is becoming a danger

Boating in the river, lake or sea is an exciting experience, but a little carelessness can make it fatal. In recent years, people have lost their lives in boat accidents at many places including Mathura. The biggest reason behind this is ignoring safety rules.

Keep in mind the capacity of the boat

Every boat or cruise has a fixed capacity. Small boats have a white stripe or capacity mark at the bottom. If it starts sinking in water when passengers board it, then understand that the boat is being overloaded. Traveling in such circumstances can be extremely dangerous.

It is important to get information about the weather

In the Bargi accident too, initially the weather was normal, but in the middle of the river, strong wind started blowing, due to which the cruise overturned. Therefore, before boating, definitely get correct information about the weather and avoid traveling in bad weather.

Don’t forget to wear a life jacket

It is important to wear a life jacket as soon as you board the boat. Whether you know how to swim or not, this is the biggest help to save your life. After wearing, also check whether the jacket is in good condition or not.

Follow local rules

Every boating spot has certain safety rules in place, such as restricted areas, deep water or areas with strong currents. It is very important to understand and follow these rules.

Be aware of your emergency plan

Before you board a boat or cruise, know what to do in an emergency. Knowing where rescue equipment is kept, and how experienced the driver is—these things can increase your safety.

keep track of time

Boating should be avoided in the morning before sunrise and in the evening after sunset. The risk of an accident increases in the dark and rescue work also becomes difficult.

The skill to save life is also important

If a person drowns in water and becomes unconscious after coming out, knowing techniques like CPR can save his life.

Bargi Dam accident is a strong warning that along with adventure, caution is also necessary. Correct information and following safety rules is the biggest way to prevent such accidents.
