| Drinking, Boating Recipe -for Trouble

By C. PETER MARINI • The following boating accident is one repeated quite _ often on local waters dur5 ing the boating season in _ any area of our nation The victim was a middle-aged male fishing with three other persons in a pleasure J boat about 200 feet from shore. Two persons on board decided to switch places and in doing so they overturned the boat. After the boat capsized two persons „ stayed with the boat, another grabbed a floating cushion and the victim at-

tempted to swim to shore. He didn't make it, and drowned. When investigating the accident, officials noted 1 that the appropriate number of life jackets (4) 1 were on board but not worn. They believe that the contributing factor in the capsizing was a case of beer that was consumed by the four accident victims while they were fishing. .MOST PEOPLE killed in boating accidents while drinking fall out of boats which may or may not have capsized. Balance is one of the first things impaired by alcohol. In some cases one

drink is all it takes A small boat or a canoe is not the most stable platform on which to debate the point or to experiment with it. Serious inquiries into drownings from falling overboard, no matter what the size of boat is. indicate that many inebriated people can't swim, no matter what their abilities are when sober. A tipsy or scared person falling into dark, murky water may become confused and unable to tell which way is up, so swims down to drown rather than up to safety. Boating can be a rewarding and enjoyable pastime, but when combined with alcohol and/or drugs the results are often tragic. SOME STUDIES state that 70 percent of boating fatalities are alcohol related. These types of accidents could be prevented by the operator's understanding and appreciation of the inherent problems of small boat in-

stability and the fact that i the older we get the more our sense of balance ' deteriorates, i The sad part is that these » tragedies can be so easily I prevented. Wear your Personal Flotation Device on the water and save the drink& till you get home.
