Abstract:

Presented in three volumes; 'Boat Boarding Ladder Placement,' which explores safety considerations including potential for human contact with a rotating propeller; 'Boat Handhold Placement,' which explores essential principles and methods of fall control; and 'Bowrider backrest height variables,' which uses actual accelerometer data in various boats to develop a computer prediction model to explore backrest heights as a factor in containing boat occupants during various maneuvers. Results of the studies and experiments provide groudnwork for possible voluntary industry standards development and possible development of Federal regulations.
