This type of accident could happen during recreational activities or just regular transportation on water surfaces. Common injuries might range from minor bumps and bruises to severe traumas like fractures, dislocations, or even drowning. It's important to note that such incidents can occur due to a variety of reasons including adverse weather conditions, improper use of equipment, lack of safety measures, collision with another object or watercraft and sudden capsizing.
