River Safety:
A Floater's Guide
by
Stan Bradshaw
This book is must
reading for anyone who intends on
floating. It is a soft back book of 137
pages packed with helpful suggestions,
knots and safety measures. I sometimes
see people on the river who have had a
problem. It is a great feeling to be
able to help them and know some of the
rescue methods developed over the years
from the experts. This book is one that
you will read over and over. ISBN

Review:
Challenging a river always carries risks. No
matter how carefully you prepare or how
knowledgeable you think you are, many times
too often, the river wins. Nonetheless, the
vast majority of fatal river accidents
involved violations of some simple precepts
of common sense that were entirely within
the power of the victim to avoid.
Stan Bradshaw examined fatal boating
accident reports gathered over ten years by
the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and
Parks and uses them to help rafters, drift
boaters, canoeists, and kayakers understand
how to avoid similar fates.
Included
in this book are tips on reading the water,
how to navigate, and what to do if something
does go wrong. It also covers proper
clothing and equipment, river signals,
knots, and trip planning. Educational and
instructional resources to help further hone
your floating and river safety skills round
out the volume.
Running a river can
and should be an enjoyable and safe
experience. Read River Safety: A Floater’s
Guide and keep it that way for you, your
family, and your friends.

"The real tragedy, when it comes to
boating accidents, is that 90 percent of
them are so preventable. Bradshaw sums
up the simple things that, taken
together, keep us safe on the water and
coming back for more." — Alan Kesselheim,
author of Treading the Currents: A
Paddlers Passion for Water
"A copy of
this book should come with every new
river boat that's sold."
