Paddlers in small boats, such as canoes, kayaks, and rafts, generally face a higher risk of drowning compared to other boaters, particularly those in larger vessels. This increased risk is due to factors such as less stability, a higher likelihood of capsizing, and the absence of safety measures like life jackets in some cases. Additionally, paddlers are often engaged in more challenging environments, like rivers and lakes, where unpredictable conditions can lead to accidents. However, the use of life jackets and adherence to safety practices can significantly mitigate these risks.
