    And a loss of brakes can put you over a cliff in a car.

    All these failures are the same types of failures a car can have.

    Cars can get you stranded and trapped.

    None of what you stated makes boats any more dangerous than cars.

      OK? The point was, there’s a lot of failure modes that result in the boat sinking, which is an inherently bad situation to be in.

      Whereas most of the ways a car can fail you result in being stranded

        And there are as many failure modes that can cause harm to the *operator of a car.

        The point is, when the engine dies you don’t drown.
