On August 15, 2009, at approximately 0934 hours, the operator of Vessel 1 was driving a water skiier through a slalom course at appoximately 30 miles per hour.  As the skiier crossed the wake of the boat, he fell and his ski hit him in the back of the head, rendering him unconscious.  The operator brought the boat around and pulled the injured party on board and drove to shore, where he began to administer CPR.  Some family members of the injured person witnessed the accident and returned to shore as well and relieved the operator and began performing CPR until EMS arrived.  As EMS began to cut off the injured party's PFD, he regained consciousness although he was in a state of confusion.  He was transported to the hospital where he received stitches to the laceration on the pack of his head.
