RedactedNarrative: Based on the witness statements given by the two individuals , they were leaving Rope Swing Island shortly after a large yacht passed by heading North. Operator stated that he was operating the vessel South, had just gotten the vessel on plane, and had adjusted the motor trim and trim tabs when his vessel encountered the wake created by the passing yacht. Operator and Occupant stated that after hitting the wake their vessel took a sharp right turn causing both individuals to be ejected from the vessel. Operator was not wearing his kill switch; therefore, the vessel continued to run on plane in tight circles. Operator was able to get away from the vessel uninjured but Occupant was stuck in the middle of the circling vessel. Occupant was stuck by the propeller or skeg of the vessel before a Good Samaritan was able to get him clear of the unmanned vessel. Occupant was taken to North Bridge boat ramp and transported to Lawnwood Hospital with a laceration to his left thumb and index finger, and later went into surgery to have a pin put in his index finger and received sutures on both fingers.;
