On average, more than 10 people each day die from unintentional drowning accidents in the United States. Out of these, two of the victims are children 14 years old or younger, and statistics show that drowning ranks as the fifth-leading cause of accidental death in America.
A Huge Problem
Each year, there are an average of over 3,500 drowning deaths in the U.S., and this does not include those relating to boating accidents. An additional 300 to 400 people die each year from boating accidents. But thousands more are injured as a result of water accidents.
Emergency centers across the country treat victims each day, and statistically speaking, an injury involving long-term submersion usually produces severe injuries that will require years of treatment. Often the victims sustain brain damage and may be left in a permanent vegetative state.
