On Thursday, July 18, 2012 at approximately 1658 hours, I was contacted at home by the entrance station and then by Weber Unified Dispatch and requested to respond to a medical accident that occurred on the East Canyon Reservoir.  A young adult male had been wakeboarding and crashed and was injured.  I responded to the courtesy docks at East Canyon State Park and found the victim was conscious but not alert.  I performed a cursory examination, taking his blood pressure, heart rate, and checking for injury,  and relayed his vital statistics to the ambulance who was responding.  I worked with the group he was with to keep him warm and stable.  Once the ambulance arrived we were able to get him on a backboard and loaded into the ambulance.  I then collected information and statements from the group he was with.  
victim had been wakeboarding and crashed, falling face-first into the water.  He was unconscious when recovered by the boat.  He regained consciousness but complained of pain in his legs and was shivering with cold.
