Vessel 1 was underway with two persons on board at approximately 40 miles per hour when the Operator attempted to slow down and released the throttle.  Vessel 1 slowed down faster than the Operator anticipated and the bow of Vessel 1 subsequently dipped, caught a wave, and ejected the Operator from Vessel 1.  The Operator struck the handlebar of Vessel 1 with her right side; Vessel 1 suffered no damage.  The Occupant aboard Vessel 1 was not ejected.  The Operator was able to swim to shore where she was driven by a family member to the hospital for pain in her right side.
