RedactedNarrative:
At approximately 1140 hours on September 14, 2013 V1 and V2 were traveling downstream on the Colorado River, near the abandoned hotel property along the Emerald Bay Golf Course property, Laughlin Nevada. V1 was being operated with two passengers onboard. V2 was being operated with two passengers on board. V1 was traveling approximately 15 to 25 yards behind V2 and both vessels were traveling at approximately 20 to 25 miles per hour. 

     Operator2 decided that the minimal to zero vessel traffic in the area, coupled with the open area of water in this region of the Colorado River would be an ideal location to allow his two occupants to learn and practice operating V2. Therefore, Operator2 slowed V2 and came to a stop.

     V1 was traveling at a continuous pace and did not slow or change direction. Due to V1''s path of travel being immediately behind V2, V1 collided with V2, going up and over V2, striking V2''s passengers. All 6 occupants, of both vessels were ejected.

V1 occupant1 was able to rescue  V1 occupant2 from the water and place her onto V1. V1 occupant1 then re-boarded V1 and started it, maneuvering V1 to V2 occupant1’s location and rescuing her from the water. V1occupant1 reported that V2occupant1 was awake when he pulled her from the water, but she then went unconscious. 

     Operator1 was able to rescue v2occupant2, and held her head above water. V2occupant2 was unconscious at first, but then awoke, crying. 

     Operator2 was in and out of consciousness floating downriver. Operator2 was reported to have been bleeding from his mouth. Operator2 was eventually pulled on to a bystander vessel, along with v2occupant2 until medical personnel arrived.

RedactedNarrative:
At approximately 5:15pm as I was heading back to Callville Bay Harbor, I noticed the motor began to lose power.  The water was choppy and the motor could not keep up with the current.  Within minutes, the motor had completely stalled and would not restart.  My wife got on the phone to call for help.  She was told due to the previous number of distress calls, there was no one available at the moment.  With no power and the strength of increasing wind, we were steadily drifting toward a rocky area of land.  By this time, the boat had taken on a good amount of water from the waves.  The boat hit up against a rocky cliff where everyone was able to exit the boat to safer grounds.  I then began to try and secure the boat, until help arrived.  With the waves smashing it up against the rocks, I could see it was slowly being torn up.  Water was now totally covering the floor of the boat.  The one side that was pinned up against the rocks, was beginning to get smashed in several areas.  We were able to flag down a few passing boats but they could offer no help due to the roughness of the water.  We continued to call for help and were told it would be a couple hours before that would happen.  Around 10-10:30pm we were finally rescued by Lake Mead Harbor Patrol.  The next morning I went back to try and retrieve the boat and it was still too rough and even the harbor told me they would not be able to help.  When I got to the boat it was obvious the boat had taken on much more water.  I tried to secure it to land as best I could, as it appeared to have broken free and began to drift.  Slowly the boat began to go under.

Another boater who was fishing on the pond heard someone yelling in distress and later found a capsized boat. The boater and others on the shore pulled victim out of the water. "Despite CPR attempts by witnesses, the victim was pronounced deceased at the scene by Allegany County Coronor. No evidence of foul play was found and the investigation is continuing.

Upon going back to retrieve the subject, he also noticed a floating marker, the type used by swimmers.  Operator cited waves and glare from the sun for his inability to see the swimmer.  Alcohol was not a factor in this incident.

RedactedNarrative:
In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, 5 men decided to try running the Croton River in a raft.  At least one of the 5 was very experienced with this particular river.  All 5 were outfitted with helmets and lifejackets.  The river was running extremely high, fast and was full of debris from the storm.  Entering the river about 100 yards south of the Croton Dam, they travelled perhaps 1/2 mile before the raft overturned.  Numerous callers reported the incident to the police.  The first would-be rafter was found clinging to some trees in the water.  He was brought to shore, where he refused any medical attention. A second subject was located in the middle of the river, near Van Cortland Manor; he was pulled into the rescue craft, and CPR was administered first by rescue staff and later by EMTs.  He was not resuscitated.  A third sunject was discovered when he contacted the police from a nearby town where he was able to rescue himself from the river.  A fourth occupant was also able to get himself out of the river, and he was able to assist in the rescue efforts by directing efforts towards the location where the raft flipped.  The final occupant was found clinging to trees in the river by a local resident, who called his location in to the rescue team.

RedactedNarrative:
A group of kayakers were paddling the Moose River on Class IV waters.  The deceased went over a ledge into a hydraulic water hole.  He exited his kayak, for reasons unknown, and became trapped in the water hole.  A fellow kayaker who was resting on shore saw his distress and was able to quickly throw a line bag to the victim, who was unable to grab the line. The would-be rescuer made several more attempts, but the victim was becoming unresponsive to the rescue attempts.  At this point, the good samaritan tied the line to himself, and entered the water to bring the victim out.  He was able to successfully pull him to some nearby rocks where CPR was begun, until EMS arrived on the scene.  Despite these heroic efforts the victim was not able to be revived.  He was wearing a Type V life jacket, and alcohol was not a factor.

Three people were fishing from a 21-foot open motorboat on Long Island Sound.  The water was relatively choppy, and because they had anchored by the stern, water began to enter the vessel over the transom, ultimately sinking the boat.  The deceased, a 71-year-old woman was a non-swimmer, and not wearing a lifejacket.  She experienced respiratory distress upon entering the water, and suffered from a fatal heart attack, despite the efforts of other boaters in the area in retreiving the trio from the water.  Alcohol was nto a factor in this accident.

A father and his 5-year-old son launched an inflatable kayak onto the Nissequogue River in Kings Park around 1:30 p.m. on Friday. At 2:45 p.m., passing boaters found the young child bobbing in the water in a life jacket just north of the river's mouth in Smithtown Bay. There was no sign of the father until the next day, when a boater noticed the body of the deceased floating in the Bay.  According to the child a passing boat created a wake that capsized the kayak, throwing them both into the water, although the kayak was found floating normally by rescuers.  The deceased was not wearing a lifejacket, and while he was noted to be an able swimmer the swift current at the River's mouth was likely too much for him to overcome.  Alcohol was not a factor in this accident.

Two men launched an 18' I/O into the Hudson River.  They had been working on the boat, and it was unregistered.  No safety gear was on board except for a Type IV PFD (seat cushion).  As the boat moved away from the ramp the stern quickly began sinking, with the bow beginning to point toward the sky in response.  The boat was not recovered, so it is unknow why this happened, but it is likely that the men either neglected set the boat plug, or they had incorrectly installed the seal for the outdrive.  One of the men was able to hang onto the Type IV cusion from the boat until he could be assisted.  The other, an 80-year-old, tried to tread water but quickly sumberged, and did not resurface.

Water soon began to enter the boat over the stern, causing it to lower, and allow yet more water to enter.  The vessel soon capsized, and both men were thrown into the cold, choppy water, neither one wearing a lifejacket.  They clung to the side opf the small vessel for perhaps 30 minutes when one of the men was no longer able to maintain his grasp.  The other man, already suffering from hypothermia for which he would later be hospitalized, was unable to assist him, and he drifted away.  To date search efforts have been unable to locate the missing man, who is presumed dead.  Alcohol was not a factor in this incident.

AccidentEvent3: Person Ejected from Vessel
RedactedNarrative:
Vessel 1 was anchored from the bow with the two Occupants on board seated in the stern area fishing.  Both Occupants were wearing a PFD.  Waves on the day of the incident started at 2 feet but grew to 4 feet over the course of an hour and a half.  Shortly after the increase in wave height the Operator observed water ion the floor of Vessel 1; the bilge pump was checked and found to be operational.  As water continued to accumulate in Vessel 1, the second Occupant aboard Vessel 1 moved to the bow to even out the weight; water now began coming over the engine cutout at the stern.  The Operator went forward to the bow at this point as well and attempted to start Vessel 1 while the second Occupant attempted to release the anchor.  Although the intention was to go forward once these two steps were accomplished to push the water in Vessel 1 out of the cutout, before they were able to accomplish either task the engine on Vessel 1 was submerged by a wave and stalled out.  Both persons on board then signaled for assistance to nearby boaters in the area.  By the time these nearby boaters were able to assist, Vessel 1 had become totally swamped; and before the assisting vessel could get the Occupants of Vessel 1 off of Vessel 1, Vessel 1 capsized, throwing both Occupants into the water.  With the assistance of a line both Occupants from Vessel 1 were eventually able to be brought aboard the assisting vessel and were transported to the hospital where they were treated and released.  Vessel 1 was later towed to the ramp for removal.

RedactedNarrative:
Vessel 1 was anchored and being used for fishing for approximately 25 minutes prior to the incident.  Vessel 1 had a low transom (with only 8 inches of freeboard) and several unplugged/unsealed screw and equipment holes from prior placement of a second outboard engine.  The Operator reported that water would periodically come in over the stern and then be flushed back out of the scupper holes.  At the time of the incident the Operator stated that the water stopped flushing back out the scupper holes; the Operator then started Vessel 1 and started both bilge pumps.  The bilge pumps could not keep up with the inflow of water, swamping and eventually capsizing Vessel 1.  All of the Occupants were ejected into the water but rescued shortly thereafter by other boaters in the area with no reported injuries.

RedactedNarrative:
Vessel 1 was launched and, after clearing the West Harbor Entrance, the Operator went down to start the port motor (the other Occupant on board Vessel 1 took the helm at this time).  The Operator was able to get the port motor started twice, but each time the port motor would subsequently stall out.  On the Operator's third try to restart the port motor the motor backfired and caught the engine compartment on fire.  The Operator used a fire extinguisher and thought he had successfully extinguished the fire.  The Operator then went back above deck to operate Vessel 1 at which time the Occupant on board noted that there was still black smoke coming from the cabin area.  The Operator tried to re-enter the cabin but the smoke was too thick and he then called 911.  The Operator closed the cabin doors, putting the fire out, and the two Occupants on board were retrieved by the USCG who arrived on scene.
