Dangers of a Boating Collision
Boating collisions are incredibly dangerous for a number of reasons. First, many boating collisions take place a considerable distance away from civilization and human contact, 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.
