Vessel #1 was towing a single tube occupied by three individuals.  The Operator of Vessel #1 realized that he was close to the shore so he maneuvered the vessel out away from shore.  In doing this, the tube he was pulling was then swung toward shore.  The tube then struck a floating anchored swimplatform.   Operator of Vessel #1 was issued WC49918 for failure to operate in a safe and prodent manner.  One passenger was injured and received six fractures to his eye sockets and cheek bone along with a broken jaw and stitches to his chin. He was unable to talk because his jaw was broken.
