The operator of the vessel had his motor turned off and was drifting while waiting for another boat to catch up to them.  When the other boat passed them, ther operator started the boat and accelerated quickly.  This action caused one of the passengers standing near the rear of the vessel to lose his balance and fall backwards and overboard.  Upon hitting the water, the passengers right leg contacted with the moving boat propeller.  This resulted in numerous non-life threatening lacerations to his right leg below the knee.  He was transported to the Medical Center where he received multiple layers of sutures and staples to close the wounds.
