The Operator of Vessel 1 was operating with two Occupants onboard Vessel 1 and one additional Occupant being pulled behind Vessel 1 on a tube.  The Operator stopped Vessel 1 and thought he had put Vessel 1 into neutral in order to pull the tube and tuber back up to the stern of Vessel 1.  Vessel 1 was not in neutral however, and as the Operator was pulling the tube/tuber in, the rope became entangled in the rotating prop and pulled the tuber/Victim toward the prop after the tuber/Victim exited the tube (the rope became entangled around the Victim's left leg).  The Victim suffered a laceration (2 inches by 1/2 inch) on the inside of his right knee.  

The Operator reported that he had taken a Vicodin earlier in the day and was cited for Failure to Control and Not Having an Observer of Legal Age on Board.
