It's a state law enacted in 2005 after a few too many people drowned. The channel is such a crazy place to skim... there is way more current there than there appears to be.

The people that do this know what they are getting into and are fully capable of handling what comes at them. Of course its always tough and never gets easy, but you try and rescue and support everyone from the Darwins to those who are fully prepared. I'm personally in the camp of we shouldn't charge for rescues. I think it should be a public service but understand the other side as well. I just don't think anyone should be scared to call for help for fear of financial penalties. Yes, there are serious Darwin awards out there but to be honest, most of those people don't die. There are a lot of people who are fully prepared, understand the risks, and go for it because they like to push themselves. From what I read on those skimmers through Weirs, they were fully prepared and knew what they were doing. To me, I applaud that. Many disagree. But they did their research and pulled it off. They had a sled modified for that sort of thing and they were wearing wet-suits for the cold temperatures. There's a reason a lot of locals were in favor of what they did and did not condone them. It sounds reckless to most people, but the general public doesn't get why you'd want to hike to a windswept peak and ski down something that could avalanche or you could hit a tree or whatever. The first responders are usually people who enjoy doing those things as well (at least up here) and know the risks but do it out of public service. You bring up a good point about fearing calling for rescue because of a "rescue penalty" or whatever it may be, which is why I'm not in favor of that sort of thing. But if you broke the law and got yourself into trouble, then I surely have no problem with you paying a fine as a result of getting caught. For the NH LEOs who have to patrol those lakes in the winter, finding YouTube video of a violation is really no different than seeing it themselves, except the lawbreaker was dumb enough to put it on the internet. I do fine the GoFundMe page particularly irritating. I mean if you were so prepared for the stunt, then be prepared for the fine too. Don't make some other person pay for it because you don't want to. Get off my lawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
