5 Common Causes of Boating Accidents
There are numerous ways to be injured in a boat, but inexperience and reckless behavior are to blame in many accidents. Causes of boating accidents include:
Operator InattentionBecause boating is a leisure activity, boat operators often fail to exercise the caution and care they should.
Improper Lookout A significant number of accidents occur because spotters either miss hazards or take their focus away from skiers.
Operator InexperienceInexperience plays a major role in many boating accidents, as too few operators take training courses—instead opting to learn while on the water.
Excessive SpeedThose who choose to pilot a boat at excessive speed put everyone on board at risk.
Alcohol UseJust as alcohol consumption—which affects judgment, vision, balance, and coordination—can impair your ability to operate an automobile, it can be extremely hazardous when on the water.
