Operator 1 was the operator of a boat being operated on Great Falls Reservoir. On July 3rd, 2009 at approx. 1:00pm she was moving upstream on the Caney Fork River pulling a tube with 3 people on board. After losing one of the people on the tube Operator 1 began turning the boat sharply while still moving somewhat fast. As she turned, she realized that the momentum was carrying the tube towards the bank and she "froze" not sure what to do next. Before hitting the bank, the second person fell off but Passenger 1 remained on the tube striking the bank and hitting his head against the rocks
