Figure 2-5: New Hampshire 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.
