V1 struck a piling on a fixed bridge

Husband told me that he and his wife rented a pair of Wave runners form Adventure Jet Ski that do tours on them. Husband was behind his wife when he noticed that waves were moving her left to right. As she approached the bridge on V1, the waves were effecting her maneuvering of V1. As Husband saw her get to close to the piling, he noticed that she struck the concrete piling. He estimated a speed of about 15 - 20 MPH. She was thrown of V1. He then went over to help and jumped in the water. A near by vessel came over and put her inside their vessel. They took her back to land where EMS was waiting to treat her.  

Upon speaking to Operator at the Hospital, I asked her what had happened. Operator said that she and the tour guide were coming up to a bridge. The tour guide never told her that they were going to be crossing under a bridge. As she get closer to the bridge, she sped up because the waves were moving her V1 left to right. As her V1 reached the bridge, she sped even more to try to control V1 when she struck the concrete piling. She was ejected from V1 into the water. Her husband then came over and tried to put her on his wave runner. Due to the impact, she received a broken leg. A good Samaritan arrived and put her on their vessel. They retuned to land where EMS was waiting to treat her fro her injuries.

At the Hospital Operator received surgery to her right leg. She was released a few days after.
