According to the U.S. Coast Guard, there were 581 boating accidents and 62 boating fatalities in the state of Florida in 2014. In fact, in the same year, Florida had the most boating accidents out of every state in the nation.

Why Do Boating Accidents Happen?
Since boating accidents happen on the water and involve multiple sizes and types of vessels, they can be extremely damaging to those involved. Not only will your vessel suffer damage, but injuries can be horribly tragic, even causing death in many situations.
Boating accidents often occur because of alcohol use while operating a vessel, but can be caused by any of the following as well:
- Distracted driving
- Crowded waters
- Inexperienced drivers
- Reckless driving
- No having lifejackets
- Defective lifejackets
Since any of these accidents and mishaps can lead to severe injury and even death, it is extremely important to exercise caution when entering an aquatic vessel or even just going for a swim.
