Victim was wading in the water at a TVA access area known as Donkey Grounds in Rhea County on Chickamauga Lake.  The victim and witnesses stated Victim was struck in the right side of her back and hip by a PWC with two riders.  This happened on Wednesday June 27th, 2012 at approximately 3:30 pm.   Operator and others had put the PWC in the water at Frazier Landing and was taking turns riding the PWC in the area.  Operator and passenger, stated that Operator saw Victim in the water while they were riding and wanted to go splash her with the PWC.  When they got close to her, Operator let off the throttle but didn''t realize the effects of off-throttle steering.  Occupant realized the PWC was going to hit her head-on, so he pressed the throttle for Operator causing the PWC to veer slightly hitting Victim in the side instead of directly.  Operator drove the PWC back to Frazier Landing where the boys loaded it on the trailer and left the area.
