Personal Watercraft Insurance – Hypothermia
Hypothermia (Deep Body Cooling) – Once you are immersed in cold water, your core body temperature begins to decline and hypothermia can set in as quickly as ten minutes. This rate depends on water temperature, clothing, body type, and your behavior in the water. Cold water robs the body of heat 25 times faster than cold air. In many cases, you may lose consciousness and drown before your temperature drops low enough to cause death.
