RedactedNarrative: Operator was operating a sea doo with her son, victim, riding behind her.  Operator was towing a young girl on a knee board.  At the time of the accident, operator had shut off the engine and was drifting while waiting for the young girl to climb back onto the knee board.  Victim was sitting at the rear of the sea doo and facing toward the girl being towed.  Victim had grabbed the tow rope and pulled it tight in an attempt to keep it from being sucked into the sea doo's impeller.  While thinking the rope was pulled out of the way, it was actually wrapped around the jet housing.  When operator started the engine and pressed the throttle, the tow rope was sucked into the impeller jerking victim into the stern of the sea doo and into the water.  Victim's face struck the sea doo and suffered fractures to his upper and lower jaw bones.  He also had several teeth knocked out and lacerations to his forehead.
