Rob, ho chiesto alla Coast Guard ieri sera e mi hanno mandato risposta, ti copio/incollo lo scambio. Ho appena ricevuto la risposta, non ho ancora avuto tempo di studiarmela.
Io:
Good evening.
I read your report with interest every year:
https://uscgboating.org/library/accident...s-2018.pdf
I have a question on the definition of the data:
On page 8 the report states:
Overview of Statistics This report contains statistics on registered recreational vessels and boating accidents during calendar year 2018.
In many states, paddleboats such as canoes and kayaks are NOT registered. Here is a list of states that require registration of a paddleboat:
American Whitewater - AW Homepage
If the 2018 recreational boating statistics records only accidents on registered recreational vessel, I conclude that it does not account for accidents of canoes and kayaks in states that these vessels are not registered.
Can you please clarify?
Thank you very much.
La Coast Guard questa mattina:
Good morning Mr. Crafter,
The publication presents information on registration statistics and boating accidents. The latter includes accidents that occur on registered and unregistered vessels.
As you astutely noted, many states have different registration requirements, which affects any rate calculation that uses registration data as a denominator. For this reason, we have a caveat listed on publication pages 13, 54, and 62 to alert readers.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Susan
