Reporting officer observed a jetski traveling at a relatively high speed run into and then over at an angle to, a white-water boat wake.  Upon impact with the boat wake, both the driver and passenger were thrown over the front left side of the vessel as the bow was thrown sharply to the right and down.  Both people flipped over, impacting the water hard.  The two female witnesses stated they saw the passenger strike the top part of the jet ski with her left lower leg as she was thrown off of it.  The victim does not remember.  As the portside bow came down hard, the vessel turned over.  The operator turned the jet ski right side up and held the victim above the chest deep water as we pulled up to them.  The victim was crying loudly.  The operator had been following his father's boat that produced the wake the operator's vessel hit.  The boat pulled up alongside the jet ski and took the victim aboard where she laid down on the front passenger seat.  Both the boat and jet ski followed us to the LCS marine base nearby to meet Fox Lake Rescue.  Rescue checked and treated the victim's left leg, which was showing contusions.  The victim could not put any wieght on her leg.  Her mother refused to allow her to be transported to Centegra Hospital for treatment.  Rescue recommended a leg x-ray.  The oeprator was checked for right foot pain but refused any further treatment.
