VESSEL A WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON THE LAKE WITH THE TWO VICTIMS SITTING IN THE BOW AREA OF THE VESSEL. AS THE VESSEL CAME UNDER HWY 53 BRIDGE, IT ENCOUNTERED A WAKE FROM A CRUISER HEADING NORTH. VESSEL A SLOWED DOWN TO CROSS THE WAKE. THE WAKE CAUSED VESSEL A'S BOW TO LIFT IN THE AIR AND COME DOWN WITH A GREAT DEAL OF VELOCITY AND FORCE. THE TWO OCCUPANTS SEATED IN THE BOW SECTION OF THE VESSEL FELL OUT OF THEIR SEATS AND LANDED IN THE FLOOR OF THE VESSEL.
