ON MAY 15, 2009, OPERATOR WAS OPERATING A PWC ON WHITE LAKE.  OPERATOR WAS OPERATING THE VESSEL NEAR THE FFA CAMP AND WAS HEADING TOWARDS CAMP CLEARWATER.  THE VESSEL WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH APPROXIMATELY 30 YARDS OUTSIDE OF THE NO WAKE ZONE.  50 TO 60 YARDS AHEAD OF SC 7216 BP, A SKI BOAT EXITED THE WAKE ZONE AND BEGAN TO PRODUCE A LARGE WAKE.  THE BOAT WAS TRAVELING PERPENDICULAR TO THE PWC OPERATED BY OPERATOR.  OPERATOR DID NOT NOTICE THE SIZE OF THE WAKE AND MAINTAINED HIS CURRENT SPEED AND COURSE.  ONLY AT THE LAST MOMENT DID HE RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR.  THE MOMENTUM OF THE PWC CAUSED IT TO GO AIRBORNE WHEN IT MADE CONTACT WITH THE SKI BOAT'S WAKE.  THE PWC RETURNED TO THE WATER BOW FIRST CAUSING THE VESSEL TO FLIP AND THEN ROLL SEVERAL TIMES.  BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE EJECTED FROM THE JET SKI.  ACCORDING TO HIS OWN ACCOUNT, OPERATOR LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.  WHEN HE REGAINED HIS BEARINGS, HE FOUND OCCUPANT INJURED NEARBY.
