Subject 1 was tubing behind a 28' Formula owned/operated by Subject 2.  Subject 1 fell off the tube so Subject 2 put the boat in reverse to catch up with Subject 1.  As Subject 1 attempted to get back in the boat,   Subject 2, also on the boat, was on the platform to assist him.  Subject 2 claimed that his wife was slightly obstructing his view of Subject 1 as he approached.   He stated that he thought he took the boat out of gear and turned the engines off, but did not.  Both of Subject 1's legs were cut by the propeller.  After they got him on board they called 911 and Subject 1 was transported to Westerly Hospital and later to Weschester NY area hospital.
