Introduction* As theme of work, our group decided to do about

rafting and bungee jumping.* We chose rafting, because it was practiced by

one of us and also chose bungee jumping because it is a sport that requires great care.

What is Rafting?* Rafting is to follow the course of a river through

their falls and a fast inflatable boat. In each boat can go from 2 to 10 people plus the guide. Is this boat that participants will go down the river, amid rocks and rapids, sometimes calmly others not so.

Dangers* Falls Boat happen. Instructors guide the people to

be in a position to help the rescue, by cable or by rowing a rope. The boat can also flip, which still requires other techniques to return to normal position.

Boat* The inflatable boat typically ranges from 4 to 5

feet.The boat is chosen according to the level of the river, a boat too small may not have much stability in some places.

Material* Everyone in the boat wear life jackets, helmets

and paddles, being accompanied by an experienced guide.

Bungee jumping

What is bungee jumping?

* Bungee jumping is an extreme sport practiced by many brave adventurers, which consists of jumping into the void tied to a bungee cord.

Dangers* The bungee jumping only offers risk for

people who want to invent, create different jumps. Another danger is the poor maintenance of equipment.

Jump* Usually the rope is tied to the ankles, but can also

be tied at the waist. The hops usually are made at a height of 40 to 60 meters.

Conclusion* This work we hope to have informed

that besides being fun sports are also very dangerous.

* We hope you like (:
