Man dies in N.H. hovercraft accident

MOULTONBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) - A man has died following a
hovercraft accident on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee.

Moultonborough Fire Chief David Bengtson told WMUR-TV that the
man crashed the hovercraft after taking off from shore and getting
caught up on some ice about 4 p.m. Saturday. Witnesses said the man
was not wearing a life jacket and was unresponsive when he was
pulled to shore.

The man was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead.

Authorities have not released the name of the victim.

1. Poor fellow
but those things are obnoxious, insanely loud, disturbing, difficult to control and you can measure the gallons of fuel per mile.
