What is the main cause of Florida boat accident injuries?

A: There are many causes that are often cited in Florida boat accidents and the related injuries, but there are some factors that are more common than others. For example, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) believes that most accidents result from capsizing, falling overboard and drowning. However, the FWC believes that many Florida boat accidents come down to the operator’s safety training.

In a report released in 2009, the FWC described the boat operator most likely to be in a boat accident as “a middle-age or older male who has plenty of boating experience yet has never learned the most important safety considerations by having taken a boating safety course.”
