V94.8: Other and unspecified water transport accidents : other unpowered watercraft

The term "Other and unspecified water transport accidents: other unpowered watercraft" generally describes incidents of accidents or injuries that occur during the use of water vessels without a power source like a motor. These may include canoes, kayaks, sailboats, rowboats, paddleboards or other unpowered watercraft. The nature of the injuries can range widely depending on the scenario, from minor injuries like sprains and bruises to more severe conditions like fractures, hypothermia, head injuries or drowning. Such accidents can happen due to various factors including unfavourable weather conditions, the inexperience of the operator, equipment failure, or accidents with other vessels. It is important to note that these accidents do not necessarily involve collisions, but may involve capsizing or someone falling overboard.
