If a power boat is speeding or out of control it endangers everybody on the lake. A swimmer going out more than 150' without being accompanied might be an idiot, but he only endangers his own life. Seems to me this is one case where the live free or die principal DOES apply.

Island lover, while I agree that his actual life is only endangered, I suggest that if someone hit him/her that their life will be effected perhaps as much, maybe not physically, but mentally.
