In Response To: Re: Kayak safety (Tom)

Tom, I do not know of this study, and as such have not read it. But I am not at all suprised by the results, and I bet the cases of collisions with power vessels are VERY few. Capsize and subsequent drowning due to exposure are, I bet, the major causes. Powerboaters save MANY kayakers each year, and those are the ones we hear about. Per capita, I'd guess that kayakers are the most poorly prepared people on the water. Before ya'll slam me, remember I am a kayaker, and I do not like to admit that we are (as a group) not too well prepared or knowledgeable, but sorry, that's what I see.
