Something I would definitely not do is skim when there is two people on the machine.
Kudos to the Laconia and Gilford Fire Dept personnel who are trained for this and save the life of one man who was in 33 degrees of water for a good 90 minutes. A bit unbelievable!

This is not the case at all. They were not skimming. They were riding two separate vintage snowmobiles. If you read the reports and hear the first hand accounts from the victims you would know this. These two boys would never have used their vintage sleds to skim. They were doing nothing illegal and it was 100% an accident. I do agree that the fire and police departments did an amazing job saving them but it was also due to the quick thinking of both boys that kept them both alive.
