Vessel A was traveling east in the direction of the dock and seawall at approximately 15 miles per hour when the operator, due to inexperience, panicked and accelerated Vessel A instead of slowing down. The operator turned Vessel A in the direction of an adjacent dockand increased speed to approximately 30 to 40 miles per hour. In a attempt to keep from striking the dock, the operator turned Vessel A once again causing Vessel A to strike the dock at a sharpe angle with it's port side rear half. Upon striking the dock, the operator was ejected from the seat and traveled through the air approximately 12 to 15 feet and struck the wall of a boathouse. Vessel A continued out into the lake and came to rest approximately 30 yards from the dock. The operator of Vessel A was charged with violation of the 100 foot rule.
