A study conducted from 2006-2007 found that, while boating accident fatalities decreased in 2007, the total number of boating accidents increased by a significant amount. The study also provided the ranking of the top five causes of boating accidents in 2007. They were:
- boat collision with another vessel
- boat collision with fixed object
- boat / skier miscue
- people falling overboard
- boat capsizing
Dangers of a Boating Collision
Boating collisions are incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons. First, many boating collisions take place a considerable distance from the shore and other people, making it difficult to get help if an accident occurs.
Additionally, even if a boat collides with a stationary object that is located near the shore, there is still the risk of drowning and it may be difficult to reach injured people and get them to safety.
The realities of these accidents affect hundreds of individuals every year. In 2007 alone, there were 558 boat collisions with stationary objects, resulting in 389 injuries and 35 deaths.
