While transiting the span of the bridge  water conditions became Choppy and when Vessel #1 began to Accelerate the raft became air born and pulled victim #1 into the water.  The line became tangled around Victim #1's Waist, legs and ankles and dragged him under water for a short distance, pulling his PFD off over his head. Victim # 1 managed to surface and grab the raft.  Victim #1's father, operating another PWC then located him and then transported him to shore.
