Safety in canyoning depends on a guide who has a thorough knowledge of the terrain and techniques to ensure a safe descent of the river.
Canyoning enthusiasts need special equipment.
We wear helmets to protect us in the event of slipping and head contact with the rock. In the event of an unintentional slip during a slide or abseil, the helmet is attached to our head for the duration of the canyoning activity.
The neoprene wetsuit prevents hypothermia in spring and autumn, while protecting us from impact. The harness supports us during the obligatory passages with a rope.
Shoes specially designed for canyoning have a very grippy sole and protect the malleolus. With shoes designed for canyoning, we avoid most slips. Canyoning becomes a lot more fun. Canyoning shoes seem to be the standard for greater safety when canyoning.
