According to the spurious correlations website (https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations), there is a 0.952407 correlation from 1999 to 2010 between people who drowned after falling from a fishing boat and the marriage rate in Kentucky. This shows that:


▸

the data are somehow wrong.



▸

survivors of drowning victims like to get remarried in Kentucky.



▸

people married in Kentucky do not know how to swim.



▸

A strong correlation may be meaningless and just a coincidence.
