The following accident occurred on July 17, 2012, at approximately 1515 hours.

The operator of vessel I was towing a wakeboarder toward shore, when the wakeboarder let go of the towrope to perform a "switch", i.e. spin 180 degrees.  The wakeboarder misjudged the distance toward the dock and traveled backwards more quickly than he intended.  His head and arm struck the dock, rendering him unconscious for approximately 20 seconds.  Bystanders pulled him onto the dock, at which point he regained consciousness and was transported to the hospital for evaluation.
