What Between 1990 and 2006 the number of people who died in boating related accidents increased?

Between 1990 and 2006, the number of fatalities from boating-related accidents increased due to a rise in recreational boating activity, including more people participating in water sports and using personal watercraft. Factors such as inadequate safety measures, lack of proper training, and alcohol consumption also contributed to the increase in accidents. Additionally, changes in regulations and enforcement may have impacted safety practices on the water.
