CALL OUT 

Dispatch called me to a traumatic injury at the South Marina on September 3rd, 2010 at 1618 hours. I arrived at the South Marina at 1625 hours and met with the injured party and his group. 

CONTACT

As I made contact with the boat, I noticed the injured party laying across the back of the boat. I asked what had happened and he knew that he had wrecked wakeboarding. I asked if the wakeboard hit his head, which he stated no. I asked him how old he was, which he was unable to answer. He stated to me that he wrecked while he was wakeboarding and hit his head when he landed. At this time I did a quick patient exam which his head was his chief complaint. I placed a C- Collar on him and at that time the Willard Medical arrived at approximately 1635 hours. I let them attend to VICTIM while I asked questions on what happened in the accident. His dad stated that he wasn't remembering and was having issues with forgetting things. There were 12 people in the boat at the time of the accident. 7 of them were little kids and the rest were friends and family that stated the same things to me as dad. 

ACCIDENT 

Dad stated that the accident happened approximately at 1550 hours. He stated that he was driving the boat with his family in the boat with him. He stated that he was going between 18 and 20 mph when VICTIM tried to jump the wake and landed on his head when he wrecked. He did not oose consciousness but was starting to get tingling in his hands and feet. When they first pulled up to him he was breathing ok and was talking to them. Then he began to get dizzy and disoriented. That was when he got the tingling and was getting a head ache. Finally he wasn't able to remember random things. 

MEDICAL 

The Brigham City Ambulance arrived and provided medical care and transported VICTIM to McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. I cleared the accident at 1716 hours, when they left on their way to Ogden.
