V93.3: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : other powered watercraft
Accidents occurring on board powered watercraft refer to injuries sustained by individuals while on board any such vessel, where the watercraft itself is not involved in any mishap and drowning or submersion has not occurred. These type of accidents encompass various types of injuries, such as those resulted from slips, falls, or being hit by loose objects on the vessel. The nature of the injuries can vary widely, and may affect any part of the body, including bones, muscles, skin, and internal organs. Despite the absence of watercraft accident and drowning, these injuries can still be severe and possibly life-threatening, depending on their extent and location. These accidents commonly occur due to environmental hazards, improper safety procedures, rough seas, or inattention to surroundings. Immediate medical attention is often necessary to manage these injuries and prevent potential complications.
