In light of recent water-related tragedies, Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva of Philadelphia and member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah of Agudas Yisroel of America, was consulted by several camps regarding planned trips.
Matzav.com spoke to a number of camps that consulted with the rosh yeshiva regarding a water park trip that was scheduled. Rav Kamenetsky gave the go-ahead to proceed with the trip as planned.

It has been widely disseminated over the last day that Rav Elya Brudny, rosh yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva of Brooklyn, has advised that while normative water-related activities are fine to engage in, other water sports, especially those that involve a modicum of danger, should be avoided, in light of the preponderance of water-related tragedies in the frum community this summer.
Rav Brudny did not issue a halachic p’sak regarding this matter, but shared his personal feeling regarding the proper hanhagah of a Torah Jew.
Matzav.com has reported no less than 8 drowning incidents over the course of the summer.
In general, what are the parameters of engaging in sports and activities that involve some danger?
