RedactedNarrative: I was called to respond to a wakeboarding accident with a broken femur that was being transported to the state park marina by private vessel.  I responded to the state park and found one individual with broken left femur being treated by PROVO FIRE DEPARTMENT and DEPUTY with UTAH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE gathering information from the occupants of the injured vessel.  I obtained the information from DEPUTY and gathered the rest of the vessel occupants and statements.  I performed a vessel safety exam and found one occupant a 3 month old baby in a carrier without a PFD, expired registration and no proof of insurance.  
  
  Statements of witnesses
  operator
  "victim was wakeboarding on Utah Lake when he tried a backflip trick over the wake.  He landed on the board on top of the wake with a slight twisting motion and some how broke his left femur from the force of the landing."
  
  observer
  "victim was attempting to do a tantrum flip, which he had successfully landed before.  When landing, the front of the wakeboard entered the water and halted the progression of the board.  However, his body continued to twist and the momentum was too strong and his femur on the left leg appears to be broken."
  
  No citation was issued on the date of the accident.  Either a citation or formal summons will be issued to the operator for the violations listed in this report.  County attorney will not submit a formal summons for the listed violations.
