Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : inflatable craft (nonpowered) - what does this mean

Accidents to nonpowered inflatable watercraft can cause drowning and submersion due to a lack of stability and buoyancy, as well as a lack of safety features such as seat belts, airbags, and other protective measures. if the craft is overloaded, it can easily tip over and cause the passengers to be submerged in the water. if the passengers are not wearing life jackets, the results can be fatal.

What happens during the disease - accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : inflatable craft (nonpowered)

The pathogenesis of drowning and submersion due to an accident involving an inflatable craft (nonpowered) is due to the inability of the craft to remain afloat due to a puncture or other structural failure. this can lead to the craft sinking or capsizing, trapping the occupants in the water and preventing them from reaching the surface for air. without intervention, the occupants will eventually succumb to hypoxia and/or cardiac arrest due to the lack of oxygen.
