Injuries on the water can come in many different shapes and forms. Accidents with sharp fishing equipment and slipping on wet decks are the two most common. Boating accidents are also something to be cautious about, even if they are rare. Getting help out on the water can be hard unless you are in a high-traffic area with patrol boats. US laws also require all water vessels to have a first aid kit, so stay safe and follow the law by packing a first aid kit on your boat.

Boat Safety
As a boat owner, you are responsible for the safety of your passengers as soon as they board your vessel. It is your responsibility to have the necessary medical supplies to help treat injuries in the event of a medical emergency. A first aid kit will help you handle any situation out on the water regardless of crew size or the purpose of the trip.
You should also keep an appropriate number of life vests onboard, and passengers should always wear their life jacket. Unless the person is in an enclosed cabin, even on a boat with guardrails, there is always a potential chance of something causing them to fall overboard. Sailboats are the most common vessel for an onboard injury or man overboard incident. Someone who is not paying attention can easily be hit by the mast, trip over a rope, or suffer a serious rope burn. The proper safety precautions on watercraft are paramount.
