"Does anyone know of any statistical analysis of these types of incidences?"
That depends on how you want to make the figures lie or the liars figure, as they say.
I figure the odds of needing a life raft are 50-50. Either I will, or I won't. Whether 10 in a thousand boats use them, or ten in a million boats use them, I'm only concerned with whether *I* will need to use one, or not.

Having a life raft is like practicing safe sex. Do you feel lucky today?
