V1 WAS TRAVELING IN BEAR GULLY LAKE IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION APPROXIMATELY 20 YARDS OFF SHORE. THE VESSEL WAS ON PLANE. THE OPERATOR WAS LOOKING BACKWARDS, AND WHEN SHE TURNED FORWARD HE NOTICED THE DOCK APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS IN FRONT OF V1. THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VESSEL IN REVERSE TO AVOID A COLLISION. WHEN REVERSE DID NOT WORK CORRECTLY, THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO TURN PORT. AS HE DID SO, V1 STRUCK THE DOCK ON THE STARBOARD SIDE. THIS CAUSED AN OCCUPANT TO FALL OVERBOARD HEAD FIRST, INJURING HERSELF.
