Synopsis: 

 A possible sprain or broken ankle occurred due to a Personal Watercraft (PWC) accident on East Canyon State Park Reservoir.

Narrative: 

 At approximately 1500 hours on August 10, 2013, I, Ranger was in my office at East Canyon State Park when our camp host informed me of a young man who had a possible broken ankle from riding a PWC.  Host told me he was at the yurt bathrooms.  I went to the yurt bathrooms and met with subject.  She told me that her son was the one who was injured and he was in the bathroom changing his clothes to go to the hospital. Mom said that her son was on the, "Sea Doo" and he hit a wave from a boat and fell off the, "Sea Doo." injuring his ankle.  When victim came out of the restroom I looked at his ankle and it was swollen.  He also had a bruise from his ankle to his knee.  I asked if they wanted me to call a medical unit and they refused saying they would go to the hospital themselves.  I asked victim what happened.

VICTIM said that he was on a, "Sea Doo' and he was riding towards a boat.  When the boat passed he went to jump the wake and he said he, "got some air." VICTIM said that when he hit the water he fell off the PWC.  He said that when he fell off the PWC he hit his leg and ankle on the side of it and it instantly started hurting.  VICTIM said that he couldn't get back onto the PWC because his leg hurt so badly.  He was able to get towed in by another boat.  

Once VICTIM  got to shore his mother and uncle helped him up to the yurt bathrooms where I met up with him.   They refused medical and went to the hospital on their own.
