Water sport and other accidents. Not following water safety rules. Not wearing a life preserver, etc. Unsupervised swimming.

Falling through ice while fishing, skating, etc.

Injury or problems that occur while swimming, boating, etc. Examples are leg or stomach cramps, fatigue, and alcohol or drug use. A heart attack, stroke, seizure, and a marine animal bite or sting may have occurred.
