Gerald Price, a 74 year-old blind water skier who set a world record for blind water skiing as he skimmed across Windermere at 46.2mph stand against the controversial speed limit imposed by the Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) in the Lake District of Windermere.  The said bylaw was enforced to restore the tranquility of Windermere Lake.

However, Price said that he will be compelled to file legal action against the said ruling. Gerald Price who is supported by Keep Windermere Alive Association (KWAA) believes that water skiing is one of most user-friendly sports for disabled people and that the 10mph limit breaches human rights laws as it hamper the chances for them to achieve further records and achievements in their water sports recreation.
