SWIMMER ONE WAS BEING PULLED BEHIND V1 ON AN INFLATABLE TUBE AT IDOL SPEED. SWIMMER ONE STRUCK HIS HEAD ON CHANNEL MARKER 15 AFTER A STRONG GUST OF WIND PULLED THE SKI TUBE TO THE SIDE OF THE CHANNEL. MARKER 15 APPARENTLY HAD BEEN STRUCK BY AN UNKNOWN VESSEL EARLIER IN THE DAY BECAUSE ALL THAT WAS STICKING OUT OF THE WATER WAS THE SMALL PORTION THAT STRUCK SWIMMER ONE IN THE HEAD.
