WHILE DRIVING UPRIVER FROM THE DIRECTION OF LOCK 4 ON LAKE LOGAN MARTIN, THE VESSEL MADE A WIDE TURN TO PORT ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE MOUTH OF BROKEN ARROW CREEK AND TO RETURN HOME. THE VESSEL STRUCK THE BLOCK WALL FOR A BOAT LAUNCH ON THE STARBOARD SIDE OF THE CRAFT. THE OPERATOR AND TWO PASSENGERS WERE THROWN OUT OF THE BOAT ON IMPACT WITH THE WALL.  BECAUSE THE OPERATOR WAS NOT WEARING AN EMERGENCY SHUTT-OFF LANYARD, THE VESSEL CONTINUED FORWARD FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT, TRAVELED OVER A WOODEN STRUCTURE, THEN NOSED IN TO THE CREEK BANK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE FROM IMPACT AND SEVERAL YARDS UPSTREAM. NONE OF THE OCCUPANTS IN THE VESSEL WERE WEARING A PFD. THE NON-INJURED PASSENGER WALKED TO A NEAR-BY HOUSE FOR HELP.
