RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was operating V1, with her sister riding as a passenger. They had launched V1 at Fisherman''s Access Park (Upriver, North, of the incident site) and then had attempted to go operate V1. V1 had an engine failure where the engine died and could not be restarted. V1 drifted downstream with the current until it struck the bumper guard on the North end (upriver side) of the Riverside Resort Dock. V1 was facing the Nevada shore (West). At this time V1 capsized and ejected both Operator1 and V1 occupant. Both occupants went under the Riverside Resort Dock before coming to the surface. Witnesses on the dock assisted both occupants onto the dock once they surfaced. V1 was pinned by the current, resting on its port side, against the North side of the Riverside Resort Dock bumper guards.
  
       Operator1 and V1 occupant''s father witnessed the capsizing, but not the recovery of Operator1 and V1 occupant. Father requested a party in the area to assist in a rescue. This party was operator of V2.  Prior to this incident, neither Father nor Operator2 knew the other individual. Operator2 agreed and Father boarded Operator2''s PWC. Upon reaching the Riverside Resort Dock they saw that Operator1 and V1 occupant had been recovered. 
  
       Operator2 and Father attempted to recover V1 from its capsized and pinned state, along the bumper guards on the dock. Operator2 and Father were able to approach V1 from the East side of the Riverside Dock and tie a piece of rope from the stern of V2 to the stern of V1. V2 attempted to tow V1 out from the dock. At this point V2 capsized, causing both Father and Operator2 to be ejected. They were both assisted onto the Riverside Resort Dock by witnesses. V2 was still connected to V1 via rope, capsized and in current. Therefore, V2 was pulled underwater by the current and tension on the rope. V2 swang alongside the Riverside Resort Dock with only the bow above the waterline. V2 came to rest in this position balanced between the river current and tension on the rope.
