On 07/25/2010 at approximately 19:00 hours, vessel one and vessel two were waiting to load on the ramp at the Olen Marshall Access Area.  While waiting in the area, the vessels continued to operate at what operators described as a speed "around 15 miles per hour".  Vessel one began to execute a turn to the right at the same time as vessel two began to operate a turn to the left.  When both operators saw that collision was unvoidable, they put their legs out in an attempt to stop the collision.  Vessel two impacted vessel one just behind the steering controls between the operator and the handlebars.  Vessel two struck the left gunwale of vessel one and launched into the left leg of vessel one's operator.  Vessel two was launched across vessel one and struck the right leg of vessel one's operator as it came back to land in the water.  Both operators went into the water as a result of the impact.  The operator of vessel two began to render aid by assisting vessel one's operator back to shore.  The operator of vessel one suffered two breaks to his lower left leg and a wound to the lower part of his right leg.  The injured operator was taken to Lakeway Regional Hospital by private vehicle for treatment.
