VESSEL 1 WAS A 17'10" SEA RAY OPEN MOTORBOAT WITH 5 PEOPLE ON BOARD AND 1 PERSON WAKE BOARDING.  THE OPERATOR WAS BEHIND THE ISLAND AND TOWING THE WAKEBOARDER BEHIND THE VESSEL.  THE WATER WAS ROUGH, DUE TO HIGH WINDS, AND THE CONSTANT POUNDING CAUSED THE SMALL METAL PINS HOLDING TOGETHER A HOMEMADE METAL RAILING TO BREAK.  THE RAILING WAS USED AS A HOMEMADE TOWING DEVICE WHERE THE TOW ROPE WAS SECURED TO THE BOAT.  WHEN THE TWO SMALL PINS BROKE, THE METAL STRUCTURE CAME DOWN AND STRUCK THE TWO VICTIMS SEATED IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT.  THE GROUP OF FRIENDS THEN CALLED FOR HELP AND RETURNED TO THE HARBOR.  BOTH PASSENGERS WERE TREATED FOR HEAD INJURIES WITH LACERATIONS TO THE SKULL BY PARK RANGERS AND WERE THEN TRANSPORTED TO A NEARBY HOSPITAL.  ESTIMATE DAMAGE TO VESSEL 1 $100.00 TWO BROKEN BRACKETS, CAUSING LARGE METAL FRAME TO COME DOWN.
