V93.6: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : inflatable craft (nonpowered)
The code V93.6 refers to accidents occurring on board a nonpowered inflatable watercraft, where casualties have been inflicted, but no harm has been done to the watercraft itself, and the resulting injuries did not lead to drowning or submersion. Essentially, it denotes an accident at sea or in another body of water onboard an inflatable raft or similar device where the victim was injured but did not drown or become submerged. Incidents reported under this code could include a wide range of scenarios, from falling overboard and injuring oneself, getting hit by an object on the watercraft, to receiving a minor cut or scrape. The range of possible injuries is extensive, from bruises or fractures to more severe traumas, depending on the incident's nature. It's important to remember that this code explicitly excludes cases where the inflatable craft was damaged or the person was subjected to drowning or submersion.
