I was called by dispatch to a report of a boating accident on Sand Hollow Reservoir. I was told the boat involved was returning to dock with a female who had suffered a head injury from tubing. I ensured Hurricane EMS was paged and responding to the dock. After responding to the dock, I met with the involved boat and found the patient laying on her side on the motor cover of the boat. VICTIM was conscious but not fully alert. victim and another person were on a tube when they hit a wake and knocked their heads together.  Victim had a pulse of 96 bpm at 1140 hours and she was breathing normally with respirations of 18 per minute at 1143 hours. She was able to answer some basic questions about her name and date of birth. Along with the help of a bystander who was a PCRN, we placed a towel under the side of her head to maintain C-spine. As I was gathering information, I assisted in providing shade for VICTIM to make her more comfortable. VICTIM vomited and regularly had the urge to vomit during my contact with her. 
Medical arrived on scene and took over patient care of VICTIM. A C-collar was placed on VICTIM and she was placed on a backboard.  Medical units also checked the other tube passenger due to the mechanism of injury and the severity of injury to VICTIM. Other tuber had been standing/walking and otherwise helping with VICTIM during my contact with the group. Other tuber was also immobilized with C-spine precautions and transported to the Dixie Regional Hospital along with VICTIM.
