Drowning was reported as the cause of death in three-fourths of all fatalities. Approximately 88 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets.
In 2010, the Coast Guard counted 4,604 accidents that involved 672 deaths, 3,153 injuries and approximately $35.5 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents.
Only nine percent of deaths occurred on boats where the operator had received boating safety instruction.
Operator inattention, improper lookout, operator inexperience, excessive speed, and alcohol rank as the top five primary contributing factors in accidents.
Alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in fatal boating accidents; it was listed as the leading factor in 19% of the deaths.
Twenty-one children under age thirteen lost their lives while boating in 2010. 42% of the children who died in 2010 died from drowning.
