Fatal Accident Data was used to identify the major causes of fatalities resulting from the use of canoes, kayaks, and inflatable craft. Areas of potential safety enhancement were evaluated using the available data. PFD availability and wear appear to be areas that need to be further evaluated to develop safety programs to reduce the number of fatalities in canoes and inflatables. Increased vessel flotation appears to be a potential safety enhancement concept for canoes but not for inflatables. Data for kayaks was too limited to form any conclusions. (Author)
