"N.H. among worst for boating accidents"

Read the end of paragraph 4 where accident is defined. Deaths and drownings count toward those figures. I can think of several off the top of my head in the last 2 years alone. There was the drowning off Rattlesnake and the one in Saunders Bay 2 summers ago. There was the man who fell of the MT Washington on the Halloween cruise. These are all part of these statistics and they have nothing to do with speed. Thats just 3 I can think of and I know there were many more drownings in kayaks and canoes over the last several years.

Excessive speed could be 5 mph around some of the town docks. All excessive speed means is that it was too fast for the situation. It does not mean it was 45 mph or higher.

These statistics must be put in perspective.
