I was on patrol at Sand Hollow State park when an individual informed me about a female who got her leg cut by the propeller of a boat.  I told him I would get medical on the way.  The female was on the north dock sitting in the back of a boat holding a towel over her leg.  She was conscious and alert.  She told me that she did not want to look at her leg.  I asked her if I could see it.  She pulled the towel from covering her wound and I could see she needed medical attention fast. Her leg was cut down to her bone and flesh had been filleted back.  I was able to get a better bandage on her leg and got her information before medical arrived.  The group asked me if they could just take VICTIM to the hospital themselves.  I explained to them they could if they wanted to, but I would not recommend it.  I advised them to let medical look at it.  Medical arrived on scene and highly recommended that VICTIM would go to the hospital in an ambulance.  VICTIM and her friends declined and said they would transport her themselves.  Medical units were able to bandage the wound a little better and VICTIMS friends transported her to DRMC in St. George.  I was able to get the information from the operator and the boat.  I noticed that the insurance I was provided was expired as of 6/18/2012.  The operator told me that it had been updated and was current.  I asked the group how the accident happened they told me that VICTIM jumped off the rocks and was swimming toward the boat and operator had started the boat while VICTIM was swimming behind it.
