The major cause of boating accidents involving hunters and anglers is often attributed to operator inattention and lack of experience, which can lead to collisions, capsizing, or falling overboard. Additionally, factors such as adverse weather conditions, poor visibility, and the presence of alcohol can significantly contribute to these incidents. Many accidents also result from improper boat handling, especially in challenging environments like rivers or lakes with strong currents. Enhanced safety education and adherence to boating regulations are crucial in reducing these accidents.
