V93.9: Accident on board watercraft without accident to watercraft, not causing drowning and submersion : unspecified watercraft
The V93.9 code refers to accidents that occur on a watercraft, but not causing any damage to the watercraft itself, and does not result in drowning or submersion. These can include incidents such as falling overboard, slips, trips, and falling objects, among other potential accidents. In these accidents, an individual can sustain various types of injuries, from mild to severe, but they are not submerged or drowned in water. The nature and severity of injuries will differ based on factors like the nature of the accident, presence of safety measures, and the individual's health condition. Symptoms and conditions resulting from such incidents can range widely, from soft tissue injuries, cuts, and fractures, to head injuries and more serious trauma. It's vitally important to seek immediate medical attention following any accident of this nature, to assess potential injuries and determine the appropriate course of action.
