How common are boat collisions on Arkansas waterways? In the past year, between 70 and 80 boating accidents were reported to officials in Arkansas. Reported boating accidents involve personal injury requiring medical treatment. We’re known in the Natural State for our beautiful lakes and rivers, but our waterways become dangerous when boaters aren’t keeping them safe.
Most boating accidents happen due to one of three reasons: inexperience, inattention, or alcohol.
The penalties for boating under the influence are the exact same as the penalties for a DUI. Drinking and driving a boat is as dangerous as drinking and driving a vehicle. In fact, drinking when combined with the sun and the waves of the water can be even more dangerous.
The number one cause of boating accidents is operator inattention. Distracted driving is just as dangerous on the water as it is on the road.
Between what’s happening on your own boat, plus the sometimes erratic paths of other boats, it’s easy to lose focus and become distracted.
Knowing how to drive a vehicle doesn’t prepare someone for driving a boat. Of the 89 drivers involved in a boating accident in 2020, only 28 of them had taken a boating education course in Arkansas.
A boating education course is mandatory for anyone in Arkansas born after 1985 who is operating a motorboat or sailboat. But it’s recommended that everyone, regardless of age, take a boating education course if they plan to operate a motorboat, sailboat, canoe, or kayak.
Not knowing how to properly operate a vessel, as well as not knowing Arkansas boating laws, can lead to a dangerous accident.
