- Stark reality of burden of recreation management. In the past 12 years, the Corps dealt with more than 1900 water-related fatalities. Unfortunately, the majority (91%) of the victims were found not wearing a life jacket. The majority (47%) of our water-related fatalities happen when people exceed their swimming abilities usually outside of our designated swimming areas. Falls overboard are another major cause at 19% and collisions as shown here are less than 8%.
- HQs didn’t require it, but Vicksburg opted to include a swimming in non-designated waters regulation, because 39% of their public fatalities fell into this category, which is more than their fatality rate of boating related incidents (36%). Swimming is actually a factor in over 60% of their fatalities.
- Important throughout the process is the information that the Corps hopes to gain from our observations and covert measurements.
