This has been undated on a regular basis for a while now.

Proactive, open source database (you need to credit this database if you use it though). By the kitesurfing community. For education, equipment improvement, rider charity support. Includes instances of kiteboarders saving drowning non kiters.

Thanks to the many kiters/people that have contributed. You can do so by adding comments to the cells.

I just want to thank you for your efforts, LWC. It's good to see someone doing something for THE SPORT, rather than just for themselves. I know of a few positive rescue stories of non-kiters in my area, and assisted in a few others myself, so will try to add what I know about them one day soon.
Keep up the good work!

Thx, 45% of fatalities and critical injuries currently collected from recent years involved impact with land/ solid objects at sea.

Hopefully will or even has saved lives in the form of education at minimum.
