Operator was operating the vessel down lake near Hideout Campground when he pulled back on the throttle causing the vessel to slow down quickly.  Victim was sitting in the seat next to the motor on the port side and had fallen asleep.  When the boat slowed suddenly Victim was asleep and unable to catch himself as he fell forward out of the seat hitting his head on a fishing reel lying on the deck of the vessel.  USCG vessel 25551 arrived on scene and applied a pressure bandage to the scalp wound.  Victim was transported to Lucerne marina by vessel #1.  I took information for this report at the marina and arranged through the dispatch for the clinic in Green River Wyoming to be available for stitches as the parents were going to self transport to the nearest clinic open on the holiday.  (Manila clinic was closed).  End of Report
