Introduction This booklet is published by the Missouri State Highway Patrol as an aid to persons who are interested in recreational boating crashes and accidental drowning incidents occurring in the state. It contains information which provides a comprehensive look at statewide crashes and accidental drowning incidents as experienced in 2017. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is the central recreational boating data collection agency for the State of Missouri. The Patrol investigates all recreational boating crashes occurring in the state and either investigates or gathers data on accidental drowning incidents occurring in state and private waters.
Interesting Statistics
It is hoped that the information in this booklet will be of value to you. Certainly it is the most comprehensive look available at statewide crashes and accidental drowning incidents in Missouri.
Here at a glance are some interesting statistics found in this booklet:
• In 2017 there were 10 persons killed and 91 persons injured in recreational boating crashes in the state of Missouri. This was six fewer killed and 20 fewer injured than in 2016. There was a decrease of 7% in total crashes statewide (169) compared to 2016 (182).
• In 2017 there were 169 total crashes including 91 property damage only, 68 injury, and 10 fatal.• “Other” was the leading contributing circumstance for all crashes followed by “water conditions
(rough, chop, current, etc.).” “Impairment (alcohol/drugs)” was known to have been a contributing circumstance to 18 crashes statewide.
• “Falls overboard” crashes resulted in the deaths of three persons. This was 30% of the total persons killed in crashes.
• Of all crashes reported statewide, 78% (132) occurred during the months of May through August.• Most crashes occurred on Saturday (60) and Sunday (28) and most (122) occurred between noon

five more than in 2016. The Missouri State Highway Patrol also investigated 15 accidental drowning incidents that occurred on private property. Additionally, there were eight accidental drowning incidents, directly attributable to flooding/flooded roadways, investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Vessel Actions at Time of Crash
Drinking and Crashes - Whether or not a person has been drinking cannot always be determined at the scene of a crash. Because of the time lapse from the moment of occurrence until an officer arrives at the scene to make the investigation, a person's condition concerning drinking can change a great deal. In cases where the individual may have been removed to a hospital, doctor's office or funeral home, his/her condition may never be determined.
