Yes, comparing snowmobiling to boating is obviously apples and oranges. But it does once again show that given at least one other motorized sporting activity in the State boating on comparison remains extrmemly safe.
You just brought up an off topic which got me to thinking...Are there Speed Limits for Snow Mobiles in NH..? I am guessing that most of the time, local trail "Terrain" would dictate prudent speeds. What about frozen lakes which are generally flat, excepting a few pressure ridges and open holes.

What I'm getting at, is there a correlation between sleds and speed limits for them, and boats and speed limits for them....and accident results...ie safety..? NB
