All subjects involved stated that 2 of the PWC's were cruising side by side (75' apart) and the third PWC was infront of and to their port side.  Operator of V1 stated his intentions were to pull along side the other two PWC's and ride three abreast but he said as he was making the turn to the port side his hand slipped off the handle bars and disengaged the kill switch; causing V1 to continue straight.  Operator of V2 stated he had been looking at the third vessel and when he looked in front of him, V1 was in his path and it was too late to turn.  V2 struck V1 in the bow/starboard side area and then became airborn.  After re-boarding V2, operator approached V1 and loaded the operator onto V2 and took him to the Bull Shoals boat dock, where EMS was called.

PWC 3 wasn't located and we do not have information concerning it.
