Boat/Waverunner…
Most people have a
boat or waverunner to enjoy it, not to get headaches. You have to keep
certain things in mind.
-
There were 13 million vessels registered in the U.S.
in 2007; though there are millions more which remain unregistered
-
Not all of boat owners are licensed
-
What if you accidentally hit one of the 10’s of
millions of water skiers and swimmers
-
Your watercraft could get damaged at dock, out at sea
or while in transport
-
In 2007, there were 5,109 accidents, 3,673 injuries
and 685 fatalities and a resulting
$53,106,496
in property
damage
-
Approximately 86% of all fatalities (in 2007) occurred
on vessels where the operator had not received boating safety
instruction
-
Alcohol was involved in 21% of all boating fatalities
in 2007
Since you can’t
control everyone on the water, make sure you have adequate coverage for you
and the ones you love.
