Kayaking Accident Claims

Kayaking is fast becoming a popular boating activity. Despite its popularity, kayaking carries many risks.

The predominant risk is a sudden change in the weather. Both fog and thunderstorms pose the greatest danger.

Fog will diminish one's visibility, which in turn will increase the likelihood of colliding with another boat. Thunderstorms pose a similar yet greater risk.

Thunderstorms can bring heavy rain, rough seas, high winds and hail. As a result of such adverse conditions, a kayaker may capsize.

In order to minimize the likelihood of drowning, it is essential that all those kayaking wear life jackets. While these risks exist irrespective of experience, it is evident that those who have adequate training will be better placed to deal with these potential problems.

Ultimately, any injury sustained whilst kayaking has the potential to be exaggerated, given the environment within which the accident occurs. Injuries sustained can vary from broken bones, to hypothermia and in the worse cases, death.
