Operators of vessels #1 and #2 had little experience and did not attend a Boating Safety Course.  They borrowed a pair of PWCs.  The owner claimed he did not give permission to them and in fact did not know them.

The operators were heading out with vessel #1 leading and vessel #2 on the right of vessel #1 and about 10 feet behind.  The vessel #1 turned right and the operator of vessel #2 tried to avoid hitting vessel #1 by shutting down. Vessel #2 struck vessel #1 on the port side and struck operator #1 breaking his right Femur.
