Here's a report that will be of interest to anyone who paddles and crunches numbers at the same time. What do you think of their tables? I find them controversial at best. http://www.americancanoe.org/pdf/cj2.pdf -- Bradford R.

While it appears they have data on the different types of kayaking they don't attempt to break out the fatalities into those categories (e.g. see page 30: "Of the 9.6 million participants of kayaking, 31% paddle freshwater with 20% of participation on whitewater, 31% paddle exclusively in coastal settings while 12 % paddle both fresh and coastal.)

On page 16 it says: "Sea kayaks represented a very small proportion of fatalities (1% overall and 5% among kayaks)". That indicates to me that the majority of the fatalities have to be divided somehow between the ww paddlers and the fresh flat-water paddlers. Makes me glad I'm paddling in salt water.

Before Christmas a reporter and I convinced work that we should spend a week of their time and money playing in the hills to give them something to run in the paper over the holiday quiet period. Not a great deal of paddling, due to my colleague being a mountaineer, not a kayaker, but this may be of interest. John has posted the trip on his PCT trail journal, which has allowed better use of photos etc. http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=214277 Cheers JKA -- John Kirk-Anderson Banks Peninsula NEW ZEALAND *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
