Coasteering Research Paper

A change in weather can distress coasteering conditions. Weather such as stormy and terrorial rain can affect coasteering conditions as these weather conditions can make create numerous hazards for the groups taking to participate in coasteering. When it is either raining or windy coasteering is also extremely dangerous as rocks became slippery and uneasy leading to people potentially falling off the rocks falling into the water in places that are unsafe to fall into. Another result of rain can lead to paths which could cause people to lose balance potentially causing risk to people involved in coasteering. High winds will high the power of the waves when can lead to them potentially dragging people out to sea and pulling them away from their …show more content…
It could be sunny for a day so people decide to go coasteering but then the weather takes a turn for the worst as it can become stormy so the instructors will have be aware of this. If the weather is bad the instructors will have to make a quick decisions whether or not we can proceed to carry on coasteering or not. For these hazards to be prevented, the instructors have to decide whether or not the groups should be made lower and change the ratio of group that the instructor will be in charge off to keep the group coasteering safe. The instructor on a website that I looked at said that the ratio between a group and an instructor should be 1:10 due to the fact that under stormy conditions the visibility of the instructor is decreased. On the website I looked at, it also explained that there is a emergency torch which can help with visibility when everyone's visibility is poor and the torch is also used for people to see where they are. This procedure is put in place in order to improve visibility and prevent any hazards. The instructors can also only allow their group to do short jumps and not the high ones in order to keep everyone safe in the
