Descrição do livro

INTRODUCTION

From powerboating and kayaking our coastal waters to air boating, jet boating, rafting, drift boating and canoeing our Interior rivers and lakes, Alaska’s boating opportunities are unsurpassed. However, Alaska also has one of the highest boating fatality rates in the nation.

The statistics relating to boating fatalities in Alaska:


    • More Alaskans die in recreational boating accidents than die commercial fishing

    • 9 out of 10 involve boats under 26 feet in length

    • 3 out of 4 are powerboats

    • 9 out of 10 are adult males

    • 5 out of 6 involve capsizing or a fall overboard, resulting in a cold water immersion related drowning

    Because nearly all boating-related mishaps involve operator controllable risk factors, most are both predictable and preventable. All boating entails some risk and safe and enjoyable boating depends on effective risk management. The best skippers and paddlers know they must be able to anticipate, recognize and assess risks, avoid or control what they can, and minimize the effects of those they can’t.

    The ability to do this hinges on the four cornerstones of safe, enjoyable boating: proper attitude, knowledge, skill and unimpaired judgment.
