I kind of feel bad for him though. Resorting to posting accidents from Canada, Australia, what's next?

If we plotted these out on a chart I think we could all agree that we would be THRILLED with a speed safety record like that. I for one hope he DOES keep them coming it is actually helping to paint a clearer picture that our region has such a great safety record. Overall globally the record is pretty safe if he has to dig back 5+ years for most of these. Compare these numbers to auto fatalities and you would be staggered by how safe our waterways actually are. Thanks for the info el.

Gee, I wonder why???? Unlike your sailboat, this forum needs a bailing out after you flooded it.

Better pick your post wisely!

It's because you are flooding. It is considered extremely rude to anyone who reads the boards. Just an FYI.

Thanks Don....oh wait, that is 1825 per year......

In all seriousness, I am glad to learn that boating is so darn safe from a statistical perspective.

SOTD, my Mother once told me if you cannot say something nice about someone then say nothing. Perhaps you missed that lesson from your Momma. Think before you post please. thanks.

It's ok DEJ when the facts are proven out all that's left is to insult. I actually like the post from sunset, it pretty much confirms what I have been saying. I'm sure he gets frustrated when everyone he talks to laughs at the SL law.
