How many people are killed each year by diving board accidents?

Diving board accidents resulting in fatalities are relatively rare but can occur. Estimates suggest that there are a few dozen deaths each year in the United States related to diving accidents, with many more resulting in serious injuries. The majority of these incidents involve improper technique, shallow water, or collisions with the diving board or the pool bottom. However, specific statistics on diving board-related fatalities may vary, and comprehensive data can be challenging to obtain.
