RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, July 7th, 2012 at approximately 8:15 PM, the owner and operator of a 2011, Red and White, Tahoe Ski boat, TX Registration 7965 BP was pulling two people on a tube behind the boat in the area of the cove at Potter’s Creek on Canyon Lake, public water, in Comal County, Texas when both riders fell from the tube in to the water.  Passengers were seated in the bow area of the boat watching the tubers.  
  
  As Operator circled back around to pick up the two tubers, Victim somehow contacted the boat’s propeller which was in gear and his swim shorts got tangled in the propeller, pulling him in to it. When Operator heard shouting from the rear of the boat, he stopped, killed the motor, and ran and grabbed on to Victim to pull him out of the water, but Victim’s shorts remained tangled in the propeller.  Victim’s brother-in-law, who was in another boat nearby, jumped in to the water and assisted Victim with getting untangled from the propeller.  
  
  Once he was freed, his brother-in-law transported Victim to shore in his boat where he administered first aid to a deep laceration on his left hip.  After assessing all of his injuries, Victim decided not call 911, because, at that time, he did not think his injuries were too serious.  Instead, his wife drove him to the North Central Baptist Hospital Emergency Room in San Antonio where he received further treatment.  
  
  During the Incident, Victim sustained several external lacerations and severe bruising to his abdomen and legs.  He sustained a deep three inch laceration to his left hip which required eight staples to close.  Furthermore, his stomach muscles were torn which resulted in a blood clot which required he undergo more extensive treatments and a prolonged stay in the hospital.  Neither Victim nor operator consumed any alcoholic beverages prior to or during the incident, and all persons involved were wearing a Coast Guard approved life jackets.
