Since 1970, more than 10,000 people have died in recreational boating mishaps. 2-- Statistics of boating accidents indicate that fatalities are usually among boat operators 20 to 28 years old, and most often occur on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in June or July. In most cases the watercraf t is an open outboard motorboat with only two persons aboard, and the most frequent type of accident is capsizing in calm water, with clear weather conditions and a light wind. Most of the 9.2 million recreational boat operators can avoid accidents by observing the rules of the waterways and using common sense, says the U.S. Coast Guard, the Federal agency primarily responsible for promoting small boat safety. Water safety courses are available from the Coast Guard, American Red Cross, and boating safety education offices within State and local governments. For more information on such courses, contact these organizations which are listed in local telephone directories. f Mr a a r ' s- - ,- -- vv . j Here are some rules for boating safety: Know how to swim. Know the boating "rules of the road." Board by stepping into the center of the boat. Distribute the load evenly NEVER overload. Each person should wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approve-d life jacket. Check for leaks and defects before leaving the shore or dock. Ha ve plenty of fuel avoid fire hazards while refueling. Take along a bailing can, whistle or horn. Start slowly and avoid v. - s I i turns. high-spee- d Reduce speed when passing bathing beaches, canoes, small boats or marinas. Keep clear of large vessels. Keep a good lookout for bad weather, other boats, swimmers, obstructions, fishermen and skiers. t If caught in foul weather, reduce speed, head into waves at a slight angle, make for the nearest shelter or harbor, and seat passengers on the bottom of the boat near center line. If the boat swamps or capsizes, keep life jackets on and stay with the boat. If someone falls overboard, throw that person any flotation device and extend an oar or line. Never leave the boat unattended. I II Additional boating safety information is contained in two Coast Guard publications, "A Pocket Guide for Visual Distress Signals" and "Federal Requirements for Recreational Boats," which are stocked at all Service publication centers. Individual copies are available from local recreation offices.
