2011 Boating Accident Statistics Report
The 2011 Boating Accident Statistics Report has been released. There were 758 boating fatalities across the nation last year, which is the highest number of boating related fatalities since 1998, even though the number of accidents and injuries decreased slightly and are at the lowest levels recorded. There were 672 fatalities for 2010, which is the lowest number of fatalities recorded. Complacency or apathy may have set in among boaters to cause the high increase in fatalities this past year.
You cannot take a break from safety and not expect possible serious consequences.
