NOTES FOR DATA ON THIS PAGE: An accident is listed under one category
only, with fatal being the highest priority, followed by nonfatal injury,
followed by property damage. For
example, if two vessels are in an accident resulting in a fatality and a
nonfatal injury, the accident is counted as a fatal accident involving two
vessels.
These data do not include: 1)
accidents involving only slight injury not requiring medical treatment beyond
first-aid; 2) accidents involving property damage of $500 or less; 3)
accidents not caused or contributed to by a vessel, its equipment, or its appendages;
and 4) accidents in which the boat was used solely as a platform for other
activities, such as swimming or skin diving. Such cases are not included
because the victims freely left the safety of a boat. However, the data do
include accidents involving people in the water who are struck by their boat
or another boat.
