Is kayaking dangerous? The short answer is: NO.
Now the caveat - there are dangerous situations out there in the world of kayaking (as there are crossing the street) but like crossing the street Authentic Darian Thompson Jersey , we can control these situations with a high degree of confidence, given the right tools and the right knowledge.
Since the most perilous types of kayaking are by sea and whitewater, I'll restrict my answer to concentrate on these pastimes.
First, I would say beyond a shadow of a doubt that you should - heck, MUST wear a helmet if you're anywhere near a shoreline. This is especially true of whitewater kayaking safety. It only takes 13 pounds per square inch of impact to permanently damage your head. This is certainly not said to discourage or scare you! On the contrary, you should wear a helmet so you can remove this worry from your mind and have a good time. There's nothing macho about being a vegetable, even if you think you look dorky with head protection.
With regard to kayaking safety Authentic Sterling Shepard Jersey , buoyancy is key for staying safe and stable. With that said, I'd also recommend a personal flotation device - this sometimes means wearing a lifejacket although they're often referred to as PFD's. You should keep the PFD on and zipped up at all times - this alone could save your life.
Specifically to sea kayaking safety is the question of how far is safe enough to venture from shore. When you're out there, think to yourself, "Can I safely swim back to shore from here?". If the answer is no, get to paddling until your a safe distance from land.
Sometimes, you will become capsized which means you will be turned over in your kayak completely upside-down. Now, before ever going it alone Authentic Eli Apple Jersey , I would consider it a must to learn how to do an eskimo roll in order to right the craft and get stable again. If you can't do this - learn now from an experienced friend or instructor. The eskimo roll is a pretty counterintuitive exercise that you can't just learn by force of will.
But the alternative to learning how to roll is to abandon your kayak and exit the craft. Once this is done you can swim back to shore and think about how to retrieve your very expensive kayak. Given the choice, I'd take some lessons! 
Another preventable hazard is the weather. Check the conditions before you go out on the water and use common sense. Assess your own skill level and don't be afraid to cancel an outing should it become necessary.
And if I can impart just one more thing...
Until you become an advanced sea or whitewater kayaker, ALWAYS go out in groups of two or more. It only makes sense.
Kayaking is such an amazing rush sometimes but it doesn't always have to be an extreme sport. It has aspects that should appeal to all ages and lifestyles. But in order to have the time of your life, you'll need to remove doubt from the equation and be as safe as possible by using common sense and kayaking safety.
NAIROBI, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- With no Olympics or the World Championships, Kenya's Hellen Obiri has confirmed she will make an attempt to break the women's 5,000m record in 2018.
The Kenyan long distance athlete believes she will carry one her top form to next season and take on her rivals as she seeks to write another piece of history.
In the last two seasons Authentic Wayne Gallman Jersey , Obiri won the 5,000m world title and was second at the Rio Olympics.
"I have always thought about setting the world record. But in the last two seasons, my form has been good, but there was the doubt of chasing the wrong target. Now we have no big competition apart from the Commonwealth Games coming early in April," Obiri said in Nairobi on Tuesday.
Obiri, 28, said she will consult her English manager Ricky Simms on the best race to break Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba's nine years and five months old world record time of 14 minutes and 11.15 seconds.
Dibaba Authentic Davis Webb Jersey , 27, set the time while winning the 5,000m race in Oslo on June 6, 2008, and the only athlete who came close to breaking the record was compatriot world 5,000 silver medalist Almaza Ayana, who won Rome's Diamond League in 14:12.59 last year.
This season Authentic Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , Obiri ran the world fastest times in 5,000m in Shanghai clocking 14:22.47 in May and two weeks later in Rome Diamond League won in a time of 14:18.37, a Kenyan record.
Her time in Rome was ranked fifth ever best with only Dibaba, Almaz Ayana, Meseret Defar (14:12.88) and Genzebe Dibaba (14:15.41) all from Ethiopia.
"I must say 2016 was a great season and I hope to uphold the same form into the coming season," said Obiri. "Records are meant to be broken, I will take my chance and see if I can lower Dibaba's record."
However Authentic Evan Engram Jersey , before making that attempt, Obiri will want to recapture the 3,000m world indoor title during the championships in March 1-4 in Birmingham before focusing on the Commonwealth Games due April 4-15 in Gold Coast, Australia.
Obiri won the 2011 world indoor 3,000m title in Istanbul, Turkey, settled for silver in 2014 Sopot Authentic Will Hernandez Jersey , Poland where Genzebe Dibaba beat her to the top spot.
She finished sixth in 1,500m at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games where the reigning Olympic and world 1,500m champion Faith Chepng'etich ruled the roost.
"I want to reclaim by indoor title before attempting the 10,000m crown at Commonwealth Games," said Obiri.
However, the Africa Senior Championships planned for August 1-5 in Assaba, Nigeria may also interest her depending on her schedule.
