Boating: How to Boat: Safety
Cold Water Survival
Sudden immersion in cold water can induce
rapid, uncontrolled breathing, cardiac arrest, and other physical body conditions
which can result in drowning. Always wearing a PFD will help you survive in
rapid immersion situations. In other situations where you must enter the water,
here are a few things to follow:
- Wear a PFD.
- Button up your clothing.
- Cover your head if possible and enter the water slowly.
- Keep your head out of the water if at all possible.
- Assume the H.E.L.P. position.
