Compare that to the safety record of NH. |
Not trying to bash or downplay anyone's info but I was just wondering (since we don't know how fast they were going) if the accident could've still happened at 45mph, depending on the boat and how fast and tight they tried to turn?
I also find myself wondering if that 5 deaths per year average is just boating related deaths or does it include deaths not related to boating (like drowning because someone didn't know how to swim or having a heart attack while swimming)?
