There’s little doubt that a favorite water activity for many families this summer will be good old-fashioned tubing. And it’s easy to see why. A basic tube is cheap entertainment, inexpensive to buy and pretty much one-size-fits-all. Young children can even participate in this water sport, but tubing can also be dangerous.
Keep these safety tips in mind before grabbing your tube:
- Always wear a lifejacket
- Never back up the boat to pick up a fallen tuber
- Check both sides of the boat before turning to pick up a fallen tuber
- Always have an adult tube with a child
- Knows safety signals for speed and stopping
