On 8/14/10 at approx. 1145hrs i was waved down by a forest service employee at the canyon lake aid station. He stated there was an injured subject lying on the palo verde boat ramp dock and needed attention. Upon arriva; i found a male subject lying on the dock. He was holding his right upper torso and stated his ribs hurt. He stated he was attempting to jump a wake near acacia recreation area at approx. 20mph. He stated he became seperated from the pwc and landed directly on the handlebars of the watercraft before landing i the water. He stated he did not loose conciousness and remembered the entire accident. The damage to the watercraft was consistent with his recollection as the right side of the handlebar was totally collapsed and pointing downward. This subject was treated on the dock until secured by backboard and moved to the aid station. He was maintained until two units arrived on scene. His care was transeferred to air evac 4 and he was transported to scottsdale osborne hospital.
