Coast Guard Boating Statistics on Accidents and Injuries

Postby dtmackey » Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:46 am

I found this USCG data on boating accidents and injuries to be interesting. I feel the data falls short of all accidents, as many are unreported unless severe. I was looking for accidents caused by lack of engine tether use, but unable to find statistics on them.
