Me too. I don't know, but I'd hazard a guess that there are far more
fatal boating accidents (for all causes) than small, private plane fatal
accidents (for all causes).

I wouldn't be the least surprised if you are right.

Boating may be a bigger in terms of participants though, so we'd have to
convert the numbers to percentages of registered boats and small aircraft.

To be fair though, aviation is much more regulated. If, and I am not
saying it should be, but if, boating was as regulated as aviation there
would be very, very, few boating fatalities.
