Whitewater Raft Casize, Okukwatibwa Wansi w’Amaato, n’okutaasa abantu mu nsawo z’okusuula¶

Okugwa mu raft y’amazzi amazungu ey’obusuubuzi oba ey’obwannannyini, cataraft, oba backcountry packraft mu Class III okutuuka ku Class V rapids kireeta obulabe busatu obw’amangu, obukwatagana mu bulamu mu sikonda 5 ezisooka: (1) Underneath-Boat Entrapment and Perimeter Line Entanglement (okujja waggulu butereevu wansi wa wansi wa kapiira enzikivu, empewo-ekendedde mu raft eyakyuse, okunyigirizibwa ku mugga ogukka wansi boulder oba canyon wall by the 200-kilogram / 440-pound hull, oba okufuna ankle oba life-jacket buckle snagged mu loose perimeter grab line oba gear strap), (2) High-Velocity Swiftwater Trauma and Foot Entrapment (okugezaako okuyimirira mu waist-dep current n’okusiba engatto wakati w’amayinja aga riverbed), era (3) Okuddamu okutambula kwa Hydraulic ("Hole / Keeper") Surf and Flush Drowning mu mazzi agannyogoga, agasaanuuse omuzira agalimu empewo. Okusinziira ku mukutu gwa American Whitewater (AW) ebiwandiiko ebikwata ku bubenje, ekibiina ekigatta abavuzi b’amaato mu nsi yonna (IRF), ne Rescue 3 International, okufa okusinga obungi mu kuvuga emmeeri enjeru kubaawo oba ng’omuwuzi agezaako okuyimirira mu masanyalaze agatambula, ng’omuwuzi asibiddwa wakati w’ekiwujjo ekikyuse n’ekiziyiza ekigumu (broach / wrap), oba omudduukirize atategekeddwa bwe yeesiba mu muguwa oba n’abuukamu nga talina bamakanika batuufu abataasa abantu mu mazzi ag’amangu.

Singa omuvuzi w’amaato oba omusaabaze mu kiseera kino taddamu, ng’asibiddwa wansi w’eryato erizingiddwa, ng’asibiddwa ekigere, oba ng’akulukutiddwa wansi mu mugga mu mazzi agannyogoga, kuba ku nnamba y’amangu mu kitundu kyo (911 mu Amerika ne Canada, . 112 okwetoloola omukago gwa Bulaaya, . 999 mu Bungereza), tandika SOS ku empuliziganya yo eya setilayiti (Garmin inReach, . ACR ResQLink PLB, oba Apple Emergency SOS via Satellite), oba weebuuze ku nsi yaffe ey’ensi yonna ennamba z’amangu dayirekita. Goberera ebikolwa eby’okwetaasa amangu, okutereeza amaato, n’okutaasa ensawo y’okusuula wansi.

Kino kikole kati¶

1. Singa raft efuumuuka n'ofuluma WANSI w'eryato eryakyuka, TOSATTIRA mu nzikiza: teeka emikono gyombi nga gipapajjo ku wansi wa kapiira waggulu w'omutwe gwo era "tambule n'omukono" butereevu ng'oyolekera ekitangaala ekimasamasa ekikuli okumpi oba ng'oyolekera ttanka eya waggulu/ebbali: Wansi w'ebbaati erikyusiddwa nga wansi waliwo drop-stitch ne tubes ezisuula, ensawo y'empewo etali nnene eriwo wakati wa tubes, naye singa raft eba enaatera okugwa mu jjinja eriri wakati w’omugga, okubeera wansi oba butereevu wansi w’eryato kijja kukubetenta ku lwazi. Weenyige omukono ku mukono okuyita wansi wansi ng’oyolekera enkomerero ya waggulu oba oludda okuva ku njazi ezijja okutuusa ng’omutwe gwo gufulumye mu musana omuggule.
2. TOteeka mubiri gwo wakati w'ekiwujjo ekitengejja n'olwazi olukka wansi, omwalo gw'omutala, oba bbugwe w'ekiwonvu ("High-Side / Upstream Rule"): Ekyuma ekiwanvu mmita 4.3 (fuuti 14) eky'amazzi amazungu ekijjudde amazzi ne ggiya kitwala kkiro ezisukka mu 500 ku 1,000 (pawundi 1,100 ku 2,200) ez'amaanyi. Singa otengejja ku ludda wansi olwa raft yo eyakyuka era eryato ne likuba ejjinja, tube ejja kukubetenta ekifuba oba okukusibira wansi w’amazzi ku lwazi. Amangu agowuga okwetooloola okutuuka ku oludda olwa waggulu olwa raft oba okulinnya waggulu waggulu ku wansi wa kapiira akyuse amangu ago.
3. Bw’oba osenguddwa okuva ku raft n’oyingira mu rapid, snap mangu mu Defensive Whitewater Swimming Position (ku mugongo gwo, ebigere wansi w’omugga ku ngulu, NEVER standing up): Just as covered in our swiftwater river crossing, ekyuma ekisekula, n’omulagirizi w’ebbibiro ery’omutwe omutono, togezaako kuteeka bigere byo wansi ku mugga mu mazzi agawanvu okusinga amaviivi go: engatto emu eriko enkokola ereeta ebigere okusiba mu sikonda ntono. Teeka ku mugongo ng’ebigere byo bitunudde wansi ddala ku mazzi okusobola okubuuka ku mayinja, kuuma ekiwujjo kyo bwe kiba nga tekiremesa kuwuga, era tunuulira waggulu w’ekibegabega kyo oba onoonya oba omutaasa w’ensawo y’okusuula ku lukalu.
4. Singa omudduukirize akusuula omuguwa gwa Throw Bag ogwa kyenvu/emmyufu, kwata omuguwa (NEVER nsawo yennyini, era NEVER okuzinga omuguwa mu ngalo yo oba mu kiwato) era osika omuguwa nnywevu ku kibegabega kyo ekya UPSTREAM (The Pendulum Ferry Position):
5. Kwata omuguwa n'emikono gyombi ku kifuba kyo/eggumba ly'omu bulago omuguwa guve mu kifuba kyo waggulu w'ekibegabega kya ekibegabega ekisinga okumpi ne bbanka y'omununuzi (upstream shoulder).
6. Lwaki ekibegabega eky’oku mugga kikulu: Singa omuguwa gudduka ku kibegabega kyo eky’omugga (ewala okuva ku lubalama), omugga gw’omugga gukwata omubiri gwo mu nkoona ey’ebweru ne gukubuuka ewala okuva ku lubalama oba okukufuumuula wansi wansi w’amazzi. Okuddusa omuguwa ku ekibegabega kyo eky’okungulu kikoona omubiri gwo diguli 45 okwolekera bbanka kale current pendulums ekufunira bulungi mu eddy.
7. Bw’oba oli ku lukalu oba ku raft ng’osuula Throw Bag eri omuwuzi mu current, TOSIBA nkomerero y’olubalama lw’omuguwa ku muti, fuleemu ya raft, oba ekiwato kyo: Bulijjo kwata omuguwa mu ngeri ya dynamically ne Hip Belay mu stable wide-legged athletic stance osobole okuliisa slack oba okutambula wansi ku bank to cushion the massive hydro omugugu gw’okukankana ( .V-drag) nga layini egenda nga nnywevu.
8. **Singa packraft eriko emiguwa gy'ekisambi efuumuuka (Capsize in a Decked or Strapped Packraft), weesigamye mu maaso, ssika Single-Point Quick-Release Grab Loop yo (Spraydeck & Thigh-Strap Bailout); bulijjo kakasa nti emiguwa gyo egy’ekisambi gifuluma bulungi nga tonnayingira mu sipiidi yonna.

Wabula, sooka oteeke layini y’obukuumi ku maaso oba ku mugongo eryato lireme kunaaba Unmanned once popped free, olwo osike okuva ku lukalu ku high end oba furthermost D-ring ng’okozesa 3:1 Z-Drag mechanical advantage system: - Siba ennanga ekyuma ekiyitibwa static webbing sling okwetooloola omuti omugumu ku lubalama lw’ennyanja (Anchor) era osibe karabini esiba ne Single Pulley #1. - Dduka omuguwa gwo ogw'okununula ogutakyukakyuka okuva ku Wrapped Boat's Bow/Stern D-Ring, okuyita mu Pulley #1 ku muti, era oddeyo ebweru ng'oyolekera omugga (The Haul Line). - Siba Prusik hitch ku main tension strand egenda ku lyato, clip Pulley #2 mu Prusik loop eyo, era owuzibwe omukira gw’okusika okuyita mu Pulley #2 okukola 3:1 mechanical advantage, okukubisaamu 3-person shore pull mu kumpi kilograms 700 (1,500 pounds) of steady peeling force.

Oluvannyuma lw’okuwuga kwonna mu mazzi agannyogoga mu mazzi amazungu, amangu ago ggyamu layers za ppamba ennyogovu, teekako ebyoya by’endiga ebikalu/entuumu n’ekisusunku ekiziyiza empewo, liisa ssukaali alimu kalori nnyingi singa okukankana kuba kutono, era ojjanjabe olw’okubeera mu nnyonta ng’okozesa yaffe obulwadde bw’okuwangaala mu ddungu n’obunnyogovu obulagirira.

Ebibuuzo ebitera okubuuzibwa¶

Lwaki omuwuzi afuna ensawo y’okusuula yandibadde akwata omuguwa ku kibegabega kye ekya UPSTREAM mu kifo ky’okukwata ekibegabega kyabwe ekya wansi?¶

Bw’oba olengejja ku mugongo ng’ebigere byo bitunudde wansi era ng’okwata omuguwa ogw’okutaasa ogunywezeddwa nga gusibiddwa oba nga gusibiddwa okuva ku lubalama lw’omugga, ekifo omuguwa we guli okubuna ekifuba kyo y’efuga enkoona y’omubiri gwo mu mugga (ggwe Enkoona y’ekidyeri). Singa omuguwa guyita ku ggwe ekibegabega eky’okungulu (ekibegabega ekisinga okumpi n’omudduukirize ku lukalu), okusika omuguwa kukyusa omutwe gwo n’ebibegabega byo diguli 45 nga byolekera olubalama, ne kisobozesa omugga gw’omugga okusika ku ludda lwo ne gukubuuka mu nnyonyi okusomoka omugga mu bbanga erikkakkamu. Bw’oba okwata omuguwa ku... wansi w’omugga ekibegabega, omugga gukwata oludda olukyamu olw’omubiri gwo ne gukubuuka ebweru mu makkati g’omugga nga bwe gukulungula mu mazzi ng’otunudde wansi.

Lwaki tolina kukwata nsawo ya nayirooni ku nkomerero y’omuguwa ogw’okusuula?¶

Omudduukirize bw’asuula ensawo y’okusuula ey’obuwanvu bwa mmita 20 (fuuti 65) emitala w’omugga, ensawo ya nayirooni eri ku nkomerero ekyalimu omuguwa ogusigaddewo ogutaliiko kkoolaasi munda. Singa okwata ensawo ya nayirooni yennyini mu kifo ky’okukwata omuguwa ogwa kyenvu waggulu ddala w’ensawo, omuguwa ogusigaddewo gusigala gusasula okuva mu kamwa k’ensawo okumala mmita eziwerako ng’ogenda weeyongera okusesema wansi, era ensawo ya nayirooni ennyogovu ennyogovu nnyangu okukutuka okuva mu ngalo ennyogovu ng’enkomerero ya layini ekutuse mu bwangu. Bulijjo kwata ku... omuguwa gwennyini ng’emikono gyombi gikutte mu kifuba.

Kiba kya bulabe okwambala ensawo y’omu mugongo ng’opakinga, oba okusiba ensawo y’omu mugongo ku butaasa bwa packraft?¶

Toyambalangako nsawo ya mugongo ku bibegabega ng’ovuga packraft ku mazzi agatambula oba ku mazzi amazungu. Singa weekulukuunya ng’oyambala ensawo y’omu mugongo, paaka eno ekwata amazzi agakulukuta wansi w’amazzi, n’esaanyaawo obusobozi bwo obw’okuyiringisibwa oba okuwuga mu kifo ekiyitibwa Defensive Swimming Position, n’ekwata ku mayinja oba ebisekula ebinywera wansi, era n’eziyiza okubuuka waggulu okw’ekyuma kyo eky’okuwuga (PFD) okusika ffeesi yo wansi w’amazzi. Bulijjo oba teeka ggiya yo munda mu packraft’s internal zippered hull tubes (Ennyonyi y'emigugu / TiZip) oba kwata ekipapula ekissiddwaako ssimu bulungi era nga kinywevu ku ddeeke y’obutaasa nga olina emikira egy’omusipi egy’ekika kya zero loose dangling strap tails.

Enfuufu y’amazzi amazungu mu nsi yonna n’obubonero bw’emikono bitegeeza ki mu kiseera ky’embeera ey’amangu ey’omugga?¶

Wansi w’eby’obutonde bwonna Ekibiina ekigatta abavuzi ba Rafting mu nsi yonna (`IRF`) n’ekibiina ekigatta abavuzi b’amaato mu Amerika (`ACA`) . obubonero bwa swiftwater: Okubwatuka kw’enfuufu emu kitegeeza "Attention / Tunuulira mu ngeri eno".; Okubwatuka kw’enfuufu ssatu kitegeeza "EMERGENCY / Obuyambi bwetaagisa mu bwangu".. Ku bubonero bw’omukono/omukono ogulabika: okukwata ekiwujjo oba omukono butereevu waggulu mu vertikal kitegeeza "Byonna bitangaavu / Safe okugenda mu maaso / Goberera layini eno".; okuwuuba ekiwujjo oba emikono horizontally overhead okuva ku ludda olumu okudda ku lulala kitegeeza "YIMIKA / Obulabe mu maaso / Eddy out mangu".; era okusonga ekipande oba omukono mu diagonally ku 45-degree angle kisonga eri obulagirizi oba oludda lw’omugga olutaliiko bulabe okutwala (tosongako ku bulabe bwennyini; bulijjo songa eri ekkubo eddungi eritaliiko bulabe).
