BOATING ACCIDENTS IN AUSTRALIA
By Peter O'Connor
The factors involved in the injuries (ie. the human, environmental and watercraft factors, safety gear, communications and rescue methods), and the means by which they can be modified, needs to be researched.
Boating safety has not experienced the dramatic improvement that has been achieved in road safety in Australia in response to significant safety initiatives (ATSB, 2000). There is more that can be done in boating safety, but to enable this to occur, more information is required on the causes and prevention of these events.
