RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, with three persons on board, was travelling westbound toward the no-wake buoys when the Operator made a fast turn, ejecting two of the Ocupants from Vessel 1.  Both Occupants then re-boarded Vessel 1 and the Operator of Vessel 1 began travelling eastbound, away from the western no-wake buoy line, nearest the south shore of the lake.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was turning Vessel 1 in fast, short, abrupt S-turns at this time, resulting in Occupant 3 being thrown off the starboard side of Vessel 1, striking the starboard rear of Vessel 1 and causing severe internal injuries and contusions to her legs and buttocks.  Occupant 2 was also ejected from Vessel 1 into the water without injury.  Following the ejections, the Operator of Vessel 1 turned to come back and pick up Occupant 2 and they approached Occupant 3 for pickup when all parties noticed blood in the water.  Occupant 2 then re-entered the water to try to assist Occupant 3.  The Operator of Vessel 1 attempted to tow Occupants 2 and 3 back to the shore while they held on to Vessel 1, but was unsuccessful in doing so.  The Operator then left the scene to obtain an inflatable device to tow Occupant 3 to shore; Occupant 2 was able to swim Occupant 3 to shore prior to his return.  Witnesses were asked to contact 911; emergency services responded and the Victim (Occupant 3) was transported by aircraft to Allegheny General Hospital.  All parties involved in the incident were wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) at the time of the incident.
