On 08/14/13 at approximately 1624 hours, V1 bearing FL 8883 PM, was traveling eastbound in the cruise ship channel just North of Fisher Island.  V1, an 11 feet multicolored Kawasaki PWC, had 2 persons on board.  While on full plane, V1 bounced three times after hitting a vessel wake and on the third time ejected the operator and occupant into the water.  Operator injured his trachea upon making contact with the PWC handle bars then was ejected into the water.  The occupant did not sustain any injuries as a result of the accident.  The estimated damages to the PWC were approximately 2500 dollars.  He was transported to the Jackson Trauma Center in Miami Dade County to undergo surgical procedures to fix his neck injury.  Doctors informed me that he would recover from the surgery and be in good condition.
