| Nationally, since 1990 there has been a four-fold increase in injuries associated with personal watercraft (PWC). In 1995, an estimated 12,290 persons were treated in hospital emergency departments. In 1997, 22% of the PWC-related injuries in the United States occurred to youth under the age of 18. Of those injured children, 46% were PWC operators and 27% were passengers. PWC-related nonfatal injuries to operators of all ages included lacerations and contusions. The most frequent injuries occur to the leg (34.4%), head (29.1%), and the lower trunk (12.5%). Blunt trauma is the leading cause of fatalities among PWC operators and passengers. |
