Vessel 1, with two persons on board, was cruising at a steady speed of approximately 32 miles per hour and was in the process of making a slow turn.  The Operator leaned into the turn in an effort to turn more quickly; the Occupant then leaned into the turn as well causing Vessel 1 to turn too sharply, ejecting both the Operator and the Passenger from Vessel 1.   During the ejection, the Occupant struck her head on the back the Operator's head, resulting in a 1.5 inch laceration above the Occupant's left eye.  Following the ejection, the Operator assisted the Occupant in getting back onto Vessel 1, at which time he trsnaported her to her residence and on to Montpelier Hospital.
