RedactedNarrative: Operator 1 and passenger were operating a personal watercraft (Vessel 1).  Operator 2 and passenger were operating a personal watercraft (vessel 2).  Operator 2 had been operating the PWC approximatly 5 minutes prior to the accident and had limited experience.  Vessel 1 was ahead of vessel 2 and they were doing crossing patterns and vessel 2 was jumping vessel 1 wake.  Vessel 2 was operating too close to vessel 1 and vessel 1 made a turn to the left.  At the same time vessel 2 made a hard turn to the right, possibly to avoid a collision.  When vessel 2 made the hard turn the PWC caught a wake and turned violently, causing operator 2 and passenger to be ejected.  Operator 2 then struck vessel 1 with her body and sustained sever internal injuries, and later died.  Vessel 2 passenger also struck vessel 1 and sustained some minor injuries to his right arm.  Operator 1 and passenger were not ejected from their watercraft and did not sustain any injuries.
