The U.S. Forest Service estimates that 82 million people participated in boating in 2010 and Coast Guard statistics show 736 people died in boating accidents that year

Did the math. Its 0.0009% fatality rate.

Its higher than that for shower accidents.

NEW FEDERAL MANDATE !!!!!!
All persons involved in personal bathing activities in standing showers are required to wear helmets or other head protection. Future mandatory requirements may be passed requiring all those bathing to wear a saftey harness securely anchored to existing building structure.

I'm not saying 700 people dying is OK, but guess what.....sheit happens !!!!
