| Even for adults, side impacts cause the most fatalities to properly restrained passengers. |
| At sea three more fatalities occurred from people angling from boats and rock fishing off our coastline. |
| More fatalities occurred on canoes and kayaks than on personal watercraft, but the highest number occurred on open motorboats. |
| Many of these fatalities and injuries could have been prevented if proper safety precautions were taken. |
| Co-ordinator of the scheme, Inspector Mick Melia, believes it has played a big role in cutting down accidents, injuries and fatalities. |
