Vessel #1 was travelling downstream when the Victim asked another boater on another vessel to "toss me a beer".  The beer landed in the water, at which time the Victim dove into the water from Vessel #1 striking his head on a rock and causing a large  bleeding laceration to the scalp.  Witnesses and citizens assisted the Victim and contacted emergency services; the Victim was transported to Ashland Hospital where he was treated for a laceration from approximately one inch above the right eyebrow to approximately one inch into the hairline, which exposed the skull.
