There will ALWAYS be accidents whether by boat, auto, motorcycle, etc, etc. Humans make mistakes! There does not always have to be a reason, (I.E. alcohol related). The only thing that can be done is to learn by our and others mistakes and bring awareness and reminders about safety to minimize these accidents. This is where organizations like S.B.O.N.H. serve their best purpose IMHOP, by reminding us we are not infallible and help spread safety awareness to all boaters.
I am glad no one was seriously hurt in this "accident". It could have been much worse!
