If you have to cross and there is no rope and other river equipment, try to choose the river wide water slow water shallow, the river bottom more gentle place, looking for a large stone held in the arms, against the flow of small lunge, do not lift the foot, stick to the bottom of the river, slowly move across the river.
2. Do not use small steps on the steep slope to go down the slope head-on; this is very easy to fall backwards, and then ride the slide down the hill, very dangerous. You can use the side, deep squat, side leg press (side lunge) type, move down the hill; this is safe and fast.

4. Don't go up the mountain alone, especially the wild mountain where few people go or not developed, if you must go, you must do a good job of signposting, don't be brave, and return the way you came.

8. Do not use dead branches or weeds and other unstressed things to tension climbing; only be able to climb with the pull of rooted branches larger than the thickness of their thumbs.
9. Do not two people holding hands, pulling people from the bottom up, to each other's wrists in hand.
