Regardless it means that there doesnt seem to be any issue with boaters of that age group either due to the small population or whatever the reasons may be.

I understand about small samples. However there isn't a small number of accidents. There are NO accidents in the age group in question. Zero is a very accurate measure of safe boating habits.


Seaplane Pilot - You could apply that statement to speed limits. But you would be wrong.
