Accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : other unpowered watercraft - what does this mean
Accidents to watercraft causing drowning and submersion other than unpowered watercraft occur when a powered watercraft, such as a motorboat, collides with an unpowered watercraft, such as a kayak, and the latter capsizes. the occupants of the unpowered watercraft can then be thrown into the water, where they may become submerged and drown.
What happens during the disease - accident to watercraft causing drowning and submersion : other unpowered watercraft
The pathogenesis of drowning and submersion caused by an accident to an unpowered watercraft is a multi-factorial process. it is caused by a combination of environmental factors, such as the water temperature, the current, and the depth of the water, as well as the physical condition of the individual, such as their strength and swimming ability. it can also be caused by a lack of knowledge or experience with watercraft safety, or by a mechanical failure of the vessel, such as a broken rudder or a punctured hull. all of these factors can lead to an individual being unable to stay afloat or to swim to safety, resulting in drowning or submersion.
