Subject:		Avon RIB Inflatable - Check valve?

Message:		I just bought a used 9' Avon inflatable, and I'm a newcomer to all of this. After inflating each tube with the manual foot pump, the seller explained that I need to first cover my hand over the hole and then quickly put the cap on as the air is escaping. Shouldn't there be a check valve here? This seems unsafe should the cap come loose when underway. If a check valve is needed, is it simply missing? Thank you
