I went to the vessel and on the motor cover was VICTIM.  She was on her back and had towels rolled up supporting her head in place.  Her knees were up.  I introduced myself, she was conscious and alert.  It was obvious that she was in severe pain.  She stated that she was 26 years old and the pain was in the middle of her back and to the right side.  I checked for movement in her toes on both feet and in her fingers on both hands.  She could feel them and move them on command.  I told her the ambulance was approximately one minute away and we were just going to talk until they arrived.   I asked for medical history and then passed that information on to dispatch and Jordanelle Ambulance.  VICTIM'S head was stabilized by the rolled up towels so I left those in place and kept reminding VICTIM not to move her head.  Ambulance arrived, placed a C-Collar on VICTIM.  We placed her on a back board and then transferred her to a gurney.  We’d placed her in the ambulance.  During this time she appeared to be in intense pain.  Ambulance then transported her to Park City Medical.  I obtain witness statements.

ACCIDENT:
OPERATOR was operating the vessel near the dam with VICTIM on a four person "MEGA SLICE" water toy, steering the vessel back and forth trying to create a big wave for VICTIM to go over.  There were approximately 13 people on the boat at the time.  These names were not obtained but I advised ROMERO, the person who rented the vessel, to document their names for future reference if required. After hitting one of those waves, VICTIM let go of the water toy and went into the water.  OPERATOR drove the boat back around to get her and she was immediately complaining that she was hurt.  Not sure whether she was hurt by the bounce on the toy or when she hit the water OPERATOR turned off the motor and jumped into the water.  He brought her back to the boat where they were able to get VICTIM out of the water and onto the swim platform.  From there they were able to get her up and onto the motor cover.  Once on the cover they stabilized VICTIM'S neck and head with the rolled up towels, called Wasatch County Dispatch and slowly brought her back to the courtesy dock where I met them. 

OBSERVATIONS:
I talked with OPERATOR at a close distance and there was no indication that he had been drinking or was impaired.  As they were unloading the boat I did not see any alcoholic beverages on board.

End of Report.
