The following accident occurred on September 3, 2012, at approximately 1830 hours.
 
The operator of Vessel I was towing his two twin children on a tube in a northerly direction around the lake.  While operating at approximately 20 miles per hour, he realized that he had driven too close to buoys marking off the end of the lake where a dam is located.  In an attempt to avoid the buoys, he made a sharp turn; the vessel cleared the buoys, but the momentum of the tube caused the tube to strike one of the buoy markers.  Both children were ejected from the tube and fell into the water.  The female occupant was uninjured, but the male apparently lost consciousness.  The operator assisted him back onto the boat; his face was bloody from an apparent nose bleed, and he was crying too hard to respond to inquiries about his status.  Once he calmed down, he complained of pain in his head and arm, and then asked what happened.  He asked what happened again a few minutes later, at which time his parents became concerned about a serious head injury and called 911.  They met EMS on shore, where the victim was transported to the hospital.  He was diagnosed with a mild concussion and a fracture in his right arm.
