The Dangers of Boating

Nearly 700 people were killed and 3,451 people were injured as a result of the 4,969 boating accidents in 2005, according to statistics from the U.S. Coast Guard. While you may know how to properly navigate your vessel across the waterways of South Carolina and along the coast, that doesn't mean that the other boaters sharing the seas are as knowledgeable or cautious. In fact, the number one cause of boating accidents was the careless or reckless operation of the boat-639 accidents were attributed to this cause. Coming in second was operator inattention. Other factors causing some of the nearly 5,000 accidents were excessive speed, operator inexperience, alcohol use, and no proper lookout.
