RedactedNarrative: On July 1, 2012 at approx. 12:00 pm Operator and three other occupants onboard TN vessel 0077 BD 115, a rental from Lakeshore Marina were adrift on Watauga Lake in Johnson County.  The occupants decided to go for a swim and Operator was the first into the water.  Operator is unsure exactly how that she came in contact with the vessel, but entered the water from the rear of the vessel.  Upon jumping into Watauga Lake Operator''s leg ended up underneath the transom and/or lower unit of the vessel.  Operator either struck some portion of the vessel when she jumped in or when she kicked her legs to swim to the surface.  Operator suffered severe laceration to the front of lower left leg and also lacerations and abrasions to the ankle areas of  both right and left legs.  Operator was transported to Emergency Room, treated, and released.
