Uma wenza lokho, awudingi ukukhathazeka ngama-rip currents, noma ngokuzumayo ukuphuma ekujuleni kwakho. Ukubeka ingalo emoyeni nokuphakamisa isandla ukuze uthole usizo kuzothola impendulo esheshayo kubaqaphi abasemsebenzini.

Ngeshwa, ngenxa yezizathu ezihlukahlukene, abantu bavame ukubhukuda lapho kungekho abaqaphi emsebenzini. Lokhu kungase kube sebhishi ngaphambi noma ngemva komsebenzi womqaphi wosuku noma ebhishi elingenabo Abaqaphi. Yilapho izinto zingahamba kahle.
