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 1-890373-08-7; 148 pages;

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."
