On saturday, july 13, 2013, at or about 2000 hours, i was on patrol at raccoon lake with master officer.  We witnessed a red pwc overtaking another vessel from the rear and attempting to pass the vessel's port side.  The pwc became airborne from crossing the wake of the boat that it was overtaking.  The operator of the pwc crossed the wake at a speed and an angle that caused the pwc to land ridged on the water, creating a whiplash effect that sent the passenger somersaulting off the port side of the pwc.  After a few minutes, officer and i observed victim floating in the water trying to keep her back straight.  She was not attempting to get back on the pwc.  
 officer and i approached the red pwc where operator was talking to victim who was still in the water.  We observed victim with a pained look on her face.  Officer inquired about her needing assistance and, after a long pause, victim stated that she needed medical attention.  Victim was complaining of pain in her left hip and her lower back.  Victim stated that she was an emt, herself, and thought she needed a back board.  Officer advised parke county of the situation and bellmore first responders met us at the raccoon lake state boat ramp.  Victim was transported back to the state boat ramp via boat.  Medic 3 transported victim from the ramp to st. Vincent clay hospital in brazil to be treated for her injuries.
