I'll try this one more time and I'll even do the work.
Here is what you wrote

"Of 269 accidents recorded from 2000 through 2004, only 19 (7 percent) involved boats exceeding the proposed limits, according to Marine Patrol Lt. Tim Dunleavy. None of the accidents resulted in fatalities."

N.H. Bill Would Limit Speed for Boats

Contained with that NEWSPAPER ARTICLE is the quote that you keep trying to attribute to me.
Now, am I going to believe you or the professional whose job it is to enforce boating laws in NH?
As someone pointed out, 28 miles an hour that was determined to be the speed of the accident is an ESTIMATE. But let's for a moment assume it to be accurate. Do you believe the 3 miles an hour would have changed the outcome? Not likely if it's the same accident I am thinking of.
And I'll even take it one step further. Let's say you are right about this accident. That means 1 fatal accident out of 269 accidents over a 5 year period due to speed.
If this isn't clear enough then I can't help you.
