Most of these accidents have some relevance to our lake, as they all involve water. That's about it.

Do you know what has most relevance to our lake and this debate, the Speed Limit Survey that was taken ON our lake by the members of our MP. While you may combat the validity of the survey, NOT ONE of the boats clocked by radar approached the speeds you cite in your post above.

There are maybe 60-70 boats on the lake that can achieve speeds in the 70MPH range. Getting all of them on the lake at the same time at those speeds is impossible.
