Missouri Boating Statistics & Drownings

2017 Edition 2016 Statistics Department of Public Safety Missouri State Highway Patrol

Introduction This booklet is published by the Missouri State Highway Patrol as an aid to persons who are interested in recreational boating crashes and accidental drowning incidents occurring in the state. It contains information which provides a comprehensive look at statewide crashes and accidental drowning incidents as experienced in 2016. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is the central recreational boating data collection agency for the State of Missouri. The Patrol investigates all recreational boating crashes occurring in the state and either investigates or gathers data on accidental drowning incidents occurring in state and private waters. Interesting Statistics

Here at a glance are some interesting statistics found in this booklet:

• In 2016 there were 16 persons killed and 111 persons injured in recreational boating crashes in the state of Missouri. This was one fewer killed and 41 more injured than in 2015. There was an increase of 20% in total crashes statewide (182) compared to 2015 (152). • In 2016 there were 182 total crashes including 77 property damage only, 91 injury, and 14 fatal. • “Other” was the leading contributing circumstance for all crashes followed by “water conditions (rough, chop, current, etc.).” “Impairment (alcohol/drugs)” was known to have been a contributing circumstance to 24 crashes statewide. • “Falls overboard” crashes resulted in the deaths of eight persons. This was 50% of the total persons killed in crashes. • Of all crashes reported statewide, 78% (142) occurred during the months of May through August. • Most crashes occurred on Saturday (58) and Sunday (50) and most (132) occurred between noon and 8:00 p.m. • Of all crashes reported statewide, 79% (143) involved only one watercraft. Fourteen of the fourteen fatal crashes involved only one watercraft. • Of the 222 boat operators involved in crashes, 117 had no prior boater education. • In 2016, there were 31 persons killed in accidental drowning incidents occurring in state waters, the same number as in 2015. The Missouri State Highway Patrol also investigated four accidental drowning incidents that occurred on private property. Additionally, there were two accidental drowning incidents, directly attributable to flooding/flooded roadways, investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. • Most drowning incidents occurred on Saturday (10) and Friday (6), and most occurred during the months of June (9), July (6) and August (9).

It is hoped that the information in this booklet will be of value to you. Certainly it is the most comprehensive look available at statewide crashes and accidental drowning incidents in Missouri.

Alcohol Involvement

Drinking and Crashes - Whether or not a person has been drinking cannot always be determined at the scene of a crash. It is generally impossible to determine the persons who have had one or a few drinks; yet, these individuals may be as much of a hazard as the obvious drunk. Because of the time lapse from the moment of occurrence until an officer arrives at the scene to make the investigation, a person's condition concerning drinking can change a great deal. In cases where the individual may have been removed to a hospital, doctor's office or funeral home, his condition may never be deter- mined.
