Figure 2-5: Colorado Recreational Boating Accidents
Excel | CSV | Table Version
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.
