operator was pulling his son on an innertube.  His son fell off the tube.  When operator turned the boat around to pick up his son, the sun was shining directly in his eyes.  Operator said that he could not see his son in the water, so he put the boat in neutral.  As he was coasting looking for his son, the starboard bow of the pontoon struck son.  The bow of the pontoon struck son on the right side of his pelvis.  Son said "i thought the boat was going to stop.  When i figured out it wasn't going to stop, i was able to push off the bow of the pontoon, but it still struck the right side of my pelvis."  the operator quickly put the boat in reverse to avoid further injury.  Son was able to climb in the boat by himself, but felt like he needed to go to the hospital.  The family took son to halifax regional medical center.  The doctor said it was nothing more than a bad bruise.  No one on board the vessel had consumed any alcohol or drugs.
