Victim was on dock and attempted to either grab on to or jump into a boat that had just backed into a slip at the marina. He fell into the water and was struck on the hand by the boat propeller. A passenger on the boat jumped in after him, and was struck on the top of the head by a ladder that the owner threw over the side in an effort to assist the victim. The passenger refused medical attention. It was unclear who was actually operating the boat, as both the owner and the passenger claimed to have their hands on the steering wheel because owner was teaching passenger to back the boat into the slip. Witness clearly identified owner as being at the controls to the boat.
