Fatal head injury from a boat propeller. No further info. Often when discussing boat safety one aspect is overlooked. Boat propeller safety is something any boater needs to be aware of. 18% of boating fatalities are caused by propeller accidents. Because of hydrodynamic forces, a person in the water comes in contact with the boat’s propeller. This can happen far faster than you might think. Even a strong swimmer may succumb to these forces.
