accident to the superintendent as soon as practical, but in any event 
within 24 hours of the accident, if the accident involves:
    (1) Total property damage of $2000 or more; or
    (2) Injury, or death or disappearance of a person
    (b) If the operator is physically incapable of making the report, 
the owner or an occupant of the vessel must report the accident to the
