Horrible accident,,,

But I have to say listening to the story, NOTHING about it falls into place to me.

She talks about losing her legs and it appears she lost her feet, which is still horrible but totally different.

Then they said the other boats anchor was not holding and they turned on the motor, but claim she was sucked in, so the boat was already on top of them and reversing??? I'm sure Im missing something here.

And people are literally that close to each other? It must make Winnipesaukee sandbars look sparsely populated,,,

And finally, she has no insurance, but is on a sand bar with a power boat, does she literally mean she has no health insurance and no accident insurance on her boat or whoever the owners are of either boat have no insurance? can that really be possible that neither she or either of the boats have coverage,,, What a horrific situation.

I get that she is probably on serious pain meds, but you would think the media would have a better explanation about what happened.

I guess the take away from this is NEVER boat in that area, AND always make sure you have lots of insurance coverage on your boat.

Really hate hearing stories like this, so tragic and so avoidable from every perspective.
