If you're fortunate to live in Southern
California, you know that enjoying recreational boating
and watercraft is a year-round activity. Of course,
the numbers naturally increase during the summertime
with warmer temperatures, longer days and vacationers
from all over coming to enjoy our coastline, lakes and
waterways.
That's also when exercising boating safety
is even more critical. From small to large; from slow
to fast - whatever type of craft you have, increased
numbers combined with less experienced boaters can change
the tide on your good time and leave accidents in their
wake.
According to the California Recreational
Boating Accident General Statistics, provided by the
California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways,
in 2015 there were 282 boating accidents in Southern
California that resulted in 121 injuries and 19 fatalities.
These accidents represented 56% of all accidents statewide,
52% of injuries, and 39% of fatalities. The fatalities
were an increase of 58% over the previous year.
We certainly don't want to capsize anyone's
fun! Enjoying the beautiful waterways in Southern California
is one of the best parts about living here. But what
we do want is for you and your crew to get the most
out of your water experience and the best way to do
that is by insuring your safety as well as your equipment!
