The following accident occurred on September 4, 2010, at approximately 1600 hours.

The operator of Vessel I was driving at approximately 35 MPH with four passengers onboard. An inflatable tube was also onboard the vessel.   Conditions were windy, and the wind caught the tube at one point and blew it backwards out of the boat.  As the tube went overboard, the tow rope wrapped around the victim's leg.  The combination of the speed of the boat and the tube flying in the wind turned the victim around in her seat and pulled her leg over the stern of the boat.  The other passengers grabbed the victim to keep her from falling overboard.  The victim suffered a rope burn and laceration to her leg and left hand.  She was kept overnight at the hospital for observation and released the next day.
