V92.4: Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft : sailboat

Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft : sailboat refers to an incident where a person experiences distress or harm while in water, specifically related to a sailboat, but where the actual watercraft hasn't been involved in an accident. In most instances, a victim might experience difficulty breathing, altered consciousness, or loss of bodily control as they struggle in the water. It's important to note that these incidents don't necessarily result in death, as non-fatal drownings may still lead to significant health issues such as lung damage, brain injury, or post-traumatic stress. Usually caused by factors such as strong currents, inability to swim, or unexpected water conditions, they tend to occur when the individual is unable to reach safety independently. This condition should not be confused with accidents involving damage to the vessel itself, as the sailboat would remain unharmed in these situations.
