RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was operating on plane pulling one wakeboarder, with four additional persons on board, when the wakeboarder fell, letting go of the tow rope.  The tow rope was under pressure from the pull of Vessel 1 and recoiled/snapped back into the passenger compartment of Vessel 1, striking the Observer/Victim.  The tow rope handle struck the Victim in the face resulting in a laceration to the forehead, several lacerations to the nose, and breaking the nose in several different locations.  Emergency Services responded to the scene and, after stabilizing the Victim's neck with a collar, transported the Victim to Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna.  The Victim was treated and released and will be seeing a plastic surgeon at a later date.
