Activities in white water rafting (rafting), helmets are also mandatory equipment that should not be worn when not MUST do rafting.
So if the same helmet with the helmet that is used at the time you ride a motorcycle? not clear. Helmets for white water rafting should be in accordance with standard safety procedure for this high-risk activities.
There are boat without a paddle (Paddle) certainly can not berarung cascade. so the equipment must then work for the Paddle boat movement forward, backward and field-a very important maneuver is done to minimize its risks while choosing the path most fun to be forded.Equipment is essential in the white water rafting.
