Drowning Dangers
One of the most serious threats boaters face is drowning. The U.S. Coast Guard report from 2007 found that of all boating fatalities reported in the United States, 2/3 of the deaths were the result of drowning, and of those 90% were not wearing a life jacket. The study went on to cite the five most common causes of boating fatalities due to drowning were:
- Alcohol use
- Excessive speed
- Operator inattention
- Passenger / skier behavior
- Careless / reckless operation
As this list indicates, the major causes of drowning while boating are often avoidable.
