Colorado Boating Accidents

In 90% of all boating accident fatalities,
victims were not wearing a life jacket

Colorado has thousands of registered boats.

Each year many people are injured or die as a result of boating accidents in Colorado.

Boating accidents happen for a variety of reasons including drunken operators, excessive speed, and collisions with other boats or an inattentive operator running over an individual in the water, or hitting an object with the boat. The number one type of boating accident that occurs is collision with another vessel. The most frequent cause of death among boaters is when a boat capsizes and its passengers fall overboard.

20% of all boating accident fatalities are attributed to alcohol consumption.

Although there are stringent rules and regulations connected to the operation of boats, inexperienced operators or operators that are impaired often don't know them or ignore the rules, and as a consequence, serious injuries or death result. In 90% of all boating accident fatalities, victims were not wearing a life jacket.

Alcohol is the number one contributing factor cited
in boating accidents that result in fatalities.

Alcohol is the number one contributing factor cited in boating accidents that result in fatalities. Twenty percent of all boating accident fatalities are attributed to alcohol consumption. United States Coast Guard studies show that a boater with a blood alcohol concentration of .10 is more likely to be killed in a boating accident than one who is sober.
