Staying Safe on the Water this Summer

2014/08/21 Thursday Education, Highlights

夏期におこる水難事故防止

Regions all over Mie have officially opened their beaches, marking the start of beach and marine sport season in the prefecture.

However, there have also been tragic incidents on the water that have claimed the lives of several people.

Last year, there were 26 incidents on the water that resulted in the deaths of 17 people. There have already been 15 incidents this year as of July.

 

Please keep the following in mind when enjoying yourself by the water

  1. Children

・Children may accidentally enter deep or dangerous waters while playing in the ocean.

・Parents or guardians need to accompany children playing in the ocean.

・If you see children playing in lakes or other dangerous bodies of water, warn them that the area is dangerous and tell them to play elsewhere.

  1. When surf fishing and partaking in marine sports

・Please wear a lifejacket when surf fishing or jet skiing. It may save your life in the event of sudden large waves and jet ski accidents.

・Do not jet ski in areas where people swim.

 

Remember, inattentiveness can lead to serious accidents on the water. Be aware that a fun day at the beach can quickly turn dangerous, and take steps to protect yourself from accidents at the beach. Help us stop water related accidents by being safe!
