Default Girl killed in boating accident.

An 8 year old girl was killed when she fell out of a boat that was making a turn while pulling water skiers. What a shame.
I was working on a camp on Winnisquam Thursday and watched a bow rider tooling across the lake with what looked to be a small boy kneeling up on the front seat at the very tip of the bow. If he fell off he wouldn't stand a chance.
I see this so frequently out on the lake. It's amazing how ignorant some parents are of the dangers they place there children in while boating.

No mention of the boat that flipped.
Any one know where the boat went after it was refloated Saturday night around midnight at West Alton sand bar?
We heard on the scanner that citations were issued but no mention of anything else.

Angry Are Winnipesaukee WAVES different?

"...was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital after being tossed upward after the boat she was a passenger in, operated by 43-year-old Alan Boucher, of 64 Ninth District Road, Somers, Conn., hit a wave." [And broke her back]

"John Kolkoski, 42, of 101 Adams Ave., Saugus, Mass., was traveling in a northerly direction on Lake Winnipesaukee toward Barton’s Motel when the vessel he was operating hit a wave." [Four-year-old passenger injured]

I recall reading last year of a boater who broke his back after hitting a wave.

Yesterday, the tenant next door was repairing a gauge under the dash when his boat was hit by a wave, bonking his head.

I don't know why the newspapers can't state "hit by a over-sized boat wake".

I'd name the oversized boat that caused the next door tenant grief, but I don't know if the Moderator would allow it.
