Vessel 1 was travelling west toward the no-wake zone near cranberry marsh when the Victim (an Occupant aboard Vessel 1) decided to jump off the back of Vessel 1 while it was still underway.  The Operator stated that after the Victim left Vessel 1 he put the vessel into neutral and threw the Victim a Type IV PFD, however, the prop must have still been turning as the Victim was struck by the prop on his left thigh as he swam toward the ladder to re-board Vessel 1.  The victim was released from the hospital on 5/28/11 with 50 stitches.
