Vessel 1 was a 10'4" bombardier pers. Watercraft with 1 person on board and 1 person being towed.  Operator was operating the pwc and pulling 1 passenger on an inflatable tube.  Operator was traveling south toward the dam parallel to the west shoreline.  Operator turned the pwc left, away from the shoreline, and didn't realize that the tuber was already on his left.  When the pwc turned left, it created a slingshot effect, accelerating the tuber's tube to the right, toward the shoreline.  The tube impacted the rocky shoreline, sending the tuber off the tube into the rocks.  The tuber was transported to pershing general hospital, where he was admitted and treated for a cracked collarbone, a head laceration, and a concussion.  There was no observer on the vessel, game warden may be issuing him a citation for pulling a water skier (tuber) without an observer (nrs 488.570).  No damage to the vessel and no other injuries reported.
