Engaging Survivors of
Boating Accidents
"Remembering Deborah Boles,
16, who died on July 4, 1998 in a
preventable accident while
wearing a life jacket. Even
seasoned boaters need boater
education.
Boat owners can prevent
accidents by ensuring their boats
are only operated by individuals
who have completed a boater
education class, just like car
owners can prevent accidents by
insuring their cars and
motorcycles are driven only by
those who are licensed to drive
them. Be safe in the water so you
can all go home together."
