V1 WAS A SEADOO WITH ONE OPERATOR AND ONE OCCUPANT. BOTH THE OPERATOR AND THE OCCUPANT NEGLECTED TO WEAR PFD'S. THE PWC WAS EXPERIENCING MEACHANICAL DIFFICULTIES. THE PWC STALLED OUT AND WAS UNSTABLE FROM ALL THE WEIGHT AND FLIPPED OVER. THE PASSENGER COULD NOT SWIM SO SHE HELD ON TO THE OPERATOR. AFTER TRYING TO MAKE IT TO SHORE, THE SWIMMERS WERE PICKED UP BY A PASSING VESSEL. THE OPERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND CPR WAS INITIATED. THE PASSENGER WAS STABLE AND BOTH WERE TRANSPORTED TO JACKSON HOSPITAL. THE OPERATOR NEVER RECONVERED FROM HIS CONDITION.
