Are you saying the accident rate on Lake George is worse since speed limits?

Did anyone ever claim a speed limit on Winnipesaukee would prevent all accidents?

Or is this report just sour grapes sensationalism of an event unrelated to speed limits?

Winfabs says this is a 'model' lake. Where everyone is 'happy'.

This and the decapitation last year is a cause for concern. That is why I don't buy having a speed limit. It does nothing.

"Authorities are investigating a boating accident on Basin Bay in Lake George that sent four people to the hospital Saturday afternoon.

The accident occurred around 2:50 p.m. when Naimoi Motihlall, 20, of the Bronx, operating a 15-foot Boston Whaler, apparently did not see buoys near Rush Island and struck rocks, officials said. The impact propelled a passenger into the water while the others were thrown from their seats, said authorities.

Motihlall, her brother Sham Motihlall, 25, Rehane Khemai, 20, and 2-year-old Sham Khemai were all transported to Glens Falls Hospital for treatment. Another passenger, Fernando A. Morillo, 19, was not injured.

Members of the Warren County Sheriff's Department's Marine Patrol, Lake George Park Commission and Bolton Emergency Squad responded to the scene."

The only "decapitation" I can find leads to this 36 Spectre blowover.

You need to take Tres Martin's class on the tunnel tab issue. Remember the founder of Bonefish grill, Chris Parker blew over a big power 36 Spectre in Tampa Bay and decapitated himself and nearly killed the two girls with him.
