There's a thread on r/rowing about a serious accident in Ireland that left a young girl with brain damage. The thread brings together several news reports from the time, plus the findings of the investigation.
Worth reading by anyone interested in making rowing safer. And isn't that everyone? Strikes me that there isn't a channel through which this kind of information can be disseminated to BR members.
Anyway, here's the link https://www.reddit.com/r/Rowing/comments/ql4qlk/junior_quad_capsize_neardrowning_in_ireland_new/

You'll find a fair bit of coverage on Masters Rowing, over on FB. And
BR members would do well to look beyond BR for up to date safety
information & advice.
