While the summer boating brings the most enjoyment, a specialist shared a wife of resources to stay safe for sailors and avoid the tragedy to climb the figures of water accident.
Captain Jyoff Fahiringer is a 50 -year career law enforcement officer who worked in New York, where he was a SWAT officer and a major crime detective. He joined the Coliere County Sheriff Office in Florida, where he was part of the dive team of the Sheriff Department. He is a licensed US Coast Guard Boating Captain and Boating Safety Expert.
“One of the most common dangerous things that I have seen on water in my experience is just untrained,” Fox told Fox News Digital.

“For example, you will see someone on the boat and they are riding on the bow, hanging from the front of the boat with their feet because they are going under a river or going on water. Lack of life jackets, overloading a boat, just basic things that they had training, which is my greater thing, will actually reduce a lot of accidents that we see. ,

According to 2023 data, the latest year for which it is available, the operator is responsible for 414 boating accidents in inexperience, resulting in 200 injuries and 44 deaths. Navigation is responsible for 210 accidents in violation of rules, resulting in 214 injuries and 24 deaths.
In early June, two Florida people were accused of violating the navigational rules of Coast Guard before the 15 -year -old Balarina Ella Adler last year. Adler was awake in the then Biscan.

Many people who were hospitalized in Florida after Coast Guard respond to the incidents of different holiday boat.
Recently, a sports fishing boat slipped into a jetty in the middle of the Safok County, New York. Four were injured in the accident, which is under investigation.
The Coast Guard counted 3,844 boating that year, killing 564 deaths, 2,126 injuries and property loss of $ 63 million. The report said that 75 percent of the deadly boating accident victims drowned, and one of those 88 percent of those life jackets was not wearing.
“A lot of items we see right now is just negligent, and much is based on someone who does not know now,” Fahringer said. “Life is not the correct address of the jacket, someone is pulling his children on a tube or wakeboarding, and they have no spotters, they are walking in an area where there is a boat traffic instead of searching for a quiet. It is a lot of general knowledge accessories that cause a lot of problems.”
The readering is a proposer of the security checklist, and says that every boator should be completed before hitting the open water.
“Go through a checklist and go through everything you want to make sure you have found on the boat [and] The boat is working correctly, “he said.” It is just a habit of doing this. Just go through a little checklist every time you leave.

He offered some less clear tips and safety training ideas, which could not be considered sailors.
“Many people rely on a cellular phone, which does not always work, especially if they go to the offshore,” said Fahringer. “A VHF radio is really a necessity. And if your boat has a radio, make a habit of turning it on, even if it is rejected in the background.”

VHF Radio Channel 16 is Universal Distress Channel. He said that marine officials often listen to the call on the channel before 911 and respond, which can particularly help if a boat is away from the edge.
“You need to be your first respondent in many cases,” he said. That channel 16 VHF Radio, [helps] You both are able to be able to call for help, but also that you can put someone in crisis that is literally 200 yards away. And you can be that person to save someone if you know what is going on. ,
Taking first aid classes, or at least bleed-stopping training, can also be very valuable in such a situation where help is far away.

Danger can also lurk in water.
Fahurringer warned to prick jellyfish, repattides, sharp objects, which can cause abrasive and potentially harmful bacteria, which are common issues faced by swimmers in water.
At the end of the day, Faheuringer said, sailors should enjoy living on water, but a little caution goes a long way to ensure safety.
