MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. -- Two children jumped out of a boat on Lake Kanasatka on Saturday after the operator's seat broke loose, throwing the driver from the boat.
According to Marine Patrol, the boat had been towing a water skier on the Moultonborough lake, but the water skier was back on board when the seat malfunctioned. After the driver went overboard, two girls in the boat jumped into the water. Marine Patrol officials said the three were able to swim safely to shore and were uninjured.
Marine Patrol said that without an operator, the boat started circling at a high rate of speed. Moultonborough Fire & Rescue and Marine Patrol were able to throw a rope in the boat's path, causing the engine to stall. The boat was then towed to shore.
