    F PB98-917002 NTSB/SS-98/01 NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD WASHINGTON, D.C. 20594 SAFETY STUDY PERSONAL WATERCRAFT SAFETY 7002 National Transportation Safety Board. 1998. Personal watercraft safety. Safety Study NTSB/SS-98/01. Washington, DC. 98 p. Personal watercraft (PWC) are a type of recreational boat that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Manufacturers estimate that about 200,000 PWC are sold each year and that more than 1 million are in current operation. Although the overall number of re- creational boating fatalities has been declining in recent years, the number of personal watercraft-related fatalities has been increasing. PWC are the only type of recreational vessel for which the leading cause of fatalities is not drowning; in PWC fatalities, more persons die from blunt force trauma than from drowning. The National Transportation Safety Board initiated this study to more closely examine fatalities and injury in addition to accident characteristics associated with PWC accidents. The study was not designed to estimate how often PWC accidents occur, nor are the results of the study necessarily representative of all PWC accidents. The Safety Board analyzed 814 (one-third) of the 1997 reported accidents and examined all of the data for the 1996 reported accidents, which the Board believes provided a substantial number of accidents to identify the most important safety issues associated with PWC accidents. The safety issues discussed in the report include (a) protecting PWC riders from injury; (b) PWC operator experience and training; and (c) boating safety standards. The study also addressed the need for recreational boating exposure data.

The center is also a learning laboratory for RTM Students. CSUN students develop professional skills in teaching, programming, and leadership while working with youth, adults, and special populations. Programs include sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, water skiing, wakeboarding, wakeskating, personal watercraft, boating safety education, water safety education, outdoor education, environmental education, and leadership training. The aquatic center provides services to over 10,000 students and community members each year through a variety of programs. John Van Arsdale has served as the director of the aquatic center since it began and anticipates retirement from his current position in the summer of 2011. The shift in the staffing pattern of the center is one of the motivating factors for drafting a strategic plan to guide the transition and the intermediate future. The RTM departments overall strategic planning as part of program review and COARPT accreditations preparation also makes it a good time to look again at the future of the CSUN Aquatic Center. I.

The Duane was named for Secretary of the Treasury William L. Duane, who served under Andrew Jackson. It was sunk as an artificial reef Nov. 27, 1987. A day later, the Bibb was sunk nearby. Large pelagic fish often visit the wreck, and there’s no shortage of big barracuda. Considered the service’s flagships, the cutters served in a variety of capacities, including service in World War II. Both cutters are part of a trail of Florida Keys shipwrecks stretching from Key Largo to Key West and spotlighted by the Wreck Trek Passport Program. The program rewards certified divers who complete a series of wreck dives listed in an official logbook. Because of its popularity, a “Wreck Trek 2.0” continuation of the dive challenge is under way through January 2014. Divers who complete five dives (one wreck in each Keys region) receive a personalized print of Keys shipwrecks. Divers who finish all nine dives are entered in a contest for a chance to win one of several grand prizes including dive equipment, accessories and dive and lodging packages.
