You probably only hear about boat crashes when something major happens and people are killed. Thankfully, major boating crashes that cause fatalities are rare, but that does not mean people are not often hurt in boating incidents.
In and around Toledo, there are plenty of opportunities for people to get out on the water. Whether they want to go fishing or enjoy some watersports, there are plenty of waterways around. There are also many companies that offer boat rentals as well as charters that will take you on a day trip.
Boat owners and crews have major responsibilities that begin before a boat trip even occurs. They should always ensure that their boats are regularly inspected and maintained. Before a trip, crews need to be aware of current and future weather conditions. All too often, boat injuries happen due to inclement weather.
All boats should have enough life jackets for each person on board and the crews should instruct all guests on how to properly use them. Maritime laws and regulations need to be followed at all times.
