RedactedNarrative: The operator of the boat told me that he had been boating earlier in the day and that he was going to take the boys back out once more to tube before dark. The operator told me the he had got everyone into the boat and the boat operator had borrowed a boat for the weekend to try out to buy. He was and had been tubing earlier in the day pulling the boys on the tube. Operator and boys had went in to rest and at approximately 1805 decided to go back out on the water to boat again. The operator, his wife and their son and a friend of the family got into the boat and all had put their life jackets on. The operator backed the boat from the campsite shore and put the boat into forward gear. The boy, a friend of the family, had stood up to get the tube from off of the back deck when the operator put the motor into forward gear. The boat stopped going backwards and bumped forward causing the boy to lose his balance, falling off the back of the boat and hitting the top of his foot on the prop.  He was taken to Girard hospital for stitches. These lacerations required 4 stitches each. The boy was released and returned home with his parents. 
  
  There was no damage to the vessel or to any other equipment. I and Officer each inspected the boat and found no mechanical problems with the vessel mechanically. The vessel had all of the required safety equipment on board. The only equipment deficiency found was that the fire extinguisher was missing the safety ring to check the fire extinguisher  for serviceability.
