2008 Boating Accident Statistics Available
The USCG Boating Safety Division has released the comprehensive analysis of boating statistics for 2008. During 2008, the Coast Guard recorded 709 deaths, 3,331 injuries and approximately $54 million dollars in damage to property, stemming from 4,789 recreational boating accidents. This represents an increase in the fatality rate (a measure of the number of deaths against the number of registered recreational boats) from 5.3 in 2007 to 5.6 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational boats in 2008. Review the statistics here.
