On Tuesday June 9 2009 there was a boat accident on Fort Patrick Henry Lake in Sullivan County. P1 was standing on the back of a 22' Centurion ski boat preparing to enter the water to wake board. P1 was holding the ski rope when he jumped into the water. The rope was wrapped around his right thumb and his body weight caused the rope to tighten around his thumb. As a result, there was a partial amputation of his right thumb. He was treated and released at a local hospital. Ther are no charges are pending.
