The Victim, on board Vessel 1, was trying to splash other party-goers on a large raft.  The Victim then left the area of the raft (on the north side of the lake) and proceeded south toward the residence hosting the party.  According to witnesses, the Victim was approximately 100 yards from shore when they heard Vessel 1 stop running and they saw the Victim fall off of Vessel 1 into the water.  Sensing something was wrong, the party-goers went to the Victim's aid, noting that the Victim had suffered a deep laceration to the center of his forehead.  First aid was administered by the party-goers, and emergency services were contacted.  The Victim was transported via Life Flight to Akron General Hospital where he was treated.  The Victim sufferd a laceration from the hairline on the right side of his forehead to the eyebrow between the left eye and nose.  In the center, the laceration was crescent shaped.  According to the medical staff examining the Victim, one or both orbital eye sockets were fractured.

The Victim reported that he had arrived at the party shortly before the incident occured.  He had eaten some pizza and consumed 1-2 beers.  The Victim then put on a PFD and started using Vessel 1.  The Victim admitted splashing other guests on the raft, but noted that he could not remember anything after that time.
