Operator of Vsl #1 was operating at a slow rate of speed. Three children were on board and 3 neighborhood children were being towed in a innertube behind the vessel.  Operator drove the vessel slowly forward to take the slack out of the rope. While doing so, Operator's son's, victim's, leg became intangled in the rope, resulting in a burn around his left leg just below his knee.  Operator transported his son to the hospital for precautionary reason.  No other injuries were found at the hospital.
