Rescue boat failure
— Rescue boats should be checked regularly and equipped with necessary safety gear such as kill cords, paddles, and throw lines. A backup boat should always be available in case of failure.
Fatigue
— Schedule frequent breaks, and encourage participants to hydrate. Ensure that activities are adjusted according to participant fitness levels to avoid exhaustion.
Prolonged exposure to cold
— Ensure regular warm-up breaks and provide access to warm clothing or blankets. Monitor participants for signs of cold stress, especially after extended periods in cold water.
