Victim was being towed behind watercraft in an inner tube. As they were traveling down-river, the tube hit a wave and the tow rope somehow wrapped around the victim's entire body. She was dragged a short distance as the rope continued to tighten around her torso, causing a laceration to her side approximately six inches long and two inches wide. Operator turned the watercraft around, pulled the victim inside, then drove the boat to the marina. The victim's laceration was deep enough that her intestines and liver were visible. She was conscious and speaking with medics while being loaded into the ambulance.
