Occupant was injured when a manatee flipped his kayak while he was fishing at anchor just north west of Haulover Canal in the Indian River. When Occupant's kayak flipped he became tangled in his own fishing line which constricted around his legs, lacerating just below his right knee. A good Samaritan transported Occupant and his kayak to the shoreline. Emergency Medical Services were called when Occupant arrived at the US Fish and Wildlife visitor's center on the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge to report that the manatee may be injured. Occupant then transported himself to Parrish Medical Center where his laceration was glued shut.;
