Safety Tips
We recommend the following:

• Shorts, sneakers, tee shirts and sunscreen to protect against sunburn.
• Add Vaseline to inner, upper arms to protect from tube rash.
• Children under twelve (12) must wear helmets and be accompanied by adults.
• Everyone must wear a life jacket.
• Eyeglass holders are for those who wear glasses
• We recommend helmets for the upper course
• Tubing with a “buddy”, so as to help in case of emergency
• Stay in the middle of the creek – or in the deepest running water where you’ll have fewer obstacles to deal with.
• To steer your tube, you paddle with your hands.
• If you fall out of the tube: DON’T  PANIC! Don not attempt to get back on the tube in rapids. Grab your tube, place it in front of you, use it as a cushion and ride out the rapids, then get back on your tube in calm water.
• If you are unable to grab the tube, position feet first and make yourself drift towards the shore.
• Don’t stand in water more then a knee deep. Currents are strong and you can easily be knocked over.
• No food, beverages or coolers allowed in water.
• Please respect posted property.
• If tube blows or lightning starts exit water immediately: to your left on the upper course to RT. 28; to your right on the lower course to RT.28; go to the highway and we will pick you up.
