Victim was being pulled on a tube behind a vessel owned and driven by operator.  The vessel made a turn causing slack in the tow rope.  When the vessel was straightened out and the slack came out of the tow rope a sudden jolt caused the tube to jerk. By all indications Victim was holding on to the tube by one hand at that time causing his right arm to jerk which dislocated his right elbow.  He was then held up by another tuber until they could get him loaded in the boat.
