If I just use this one particular story, from of all places Lake George, could I statistically declare "bow riders 1, ocean racers 0?".

A former high school football star from Warrensburg died Monday from
injuries he suffered in a boat accident on Lake George over the weekend.

Ryan D. Winslow, 24, had been piloting a 21-foot boat near Bolton
Landing just before 2:30 a.m. Sunday when the boat struck a diving board
extending from a dock, police said. The impact broke off a piece of the
boat's metal tubing, which struck Winslow in the head. The vessel then ran
aground. Winslow was a 1999 graduate of Warrensburg High School and hoped to return
there as a football coach, said Mike Welch, his foot ball coach at Ithaca
College.

"I just sent in a recommendation to help him," Welch said.

Winslow played defense at Ithaca. He would have made a good coach
because his attitude was, "team comes first," Welch said.

Winslow graduated summa cum laude in 2003 with a bachelor's of science
degree in business. He worked for a while after college as a manager and
recruiter at Abercrombie & Fitch in Manhattan and last year took a job in
sales at Champlain Stone Ltd. in Warrensburg.

"He was a beautiful young man," said Vandra Dagles, director of human
resources at the quarrier. At the time of his death, Winslow worked in the
projects department.

Warren County Sheriff Larry Cleveland said he knows the Winslow family
from growing up in Warrensburg. Winslow's father, Bryan Winslow, is a
uniformed court officer in Warren County.

"It's a wonderful family, they are nice people," Cleveland said.

Police ruled Winslow's death an accident Tuesday after an autopsy found
he suffered skull fractures and brain injuries due to blunt force trauma,
Trooper Maureen Tuffey said. Three other people were in the boat with
Winslow. A woman, who wasn't identified by authorities, suffered minor
injuries.

Tuffey also said State Police believe speed and alcohol led to
Winslow's death because of evidence found at the accident scene and
witnesses' statements. No arrests are expected, she said.

Nah, I wouldn't do that......
