Operator of Vessel #1 went out onto the water during a tropical storm in 40 mph winds and 6' waves to do some wake jumping. Vessel #1 came off the top of a wave and slammed down into the trough while the operator was partially in the air. He struck hard onto the seat with his back in a vertical position and stated that he heard something in his back snap. Alcohol use was not apparent. Water conditions were extremely hazardous.
