The Keystone State's Official Boating Magazine I
4., • The Keystone State's Official Boating Magazine i Too often a weekend outing turns to tragedy because a well- meaning father or friend decides to take "all the kids" for a boat ride, or several fishing buddies go out in a small flat- bottomed boat. In a great number of boating accidents it is found that the very simplest safety precautions were ignored. Lack of PFDs and overloading frequently set the stage for boating fatalities. Sadly, our larger group of boaters frequently overlooks the problem of boating safety. Boaters in this broad group are owners of small boats, often sportsmen. This is not to say that most of these folks are not safe boaters, but the figures show that sportsmen in this group in Pennsylvania regularly head the list of boating fatalities. There are more of them on the waterways and they probably make more frequent trips afloat than others. Thus, on a per capita or per-hour-of-boating basis, they may not actually deserve the top spot on the fatality list. Still, this reasoning does not save lives and that is what is WHO HAS BOATING important. ACCIDENTS? Most boating accidents happen in what is generally regarded as nice weather. Many tragedies happen on clear, warm days with light or no wind. However, almost half of all accidents involving fatalities occur in water less than 60 degrees. A great percentage of these fatal accidents involved individuals fishing or hunting from a john boat, canoe, or some other small craft. Not surprising is that victims of this type of boating accident die not because of the impact of the collision or the burns of a fire or explosion, but because they drown.
