On June 10, 2013, at approximately 1:00pm, Operator was pulling a four person tube with his boat on Canyon Lake, when his daughter fell from the tube and injured her lip.  He was pulling the tube back and forth over the wake when the raft flipped.  His daughter was floating face up with blood coming from her lip and was completely unconscious.  After removing Tuber from the water and immobilizing her head and neck, Operator transported her to boat ramp #4 in Comal Park, where Canyon Lake EMS was waiting.  Tuber was transported by helicopter to University Hospital in San Antonio for her injuries.  Later that day, Game Warden’s contacted Operator at the hospital to complete their investigation.  They were informed that Tuber had bit through her lip as she fell from the tube and would receive stitches.  She had no neck or spinal injuries.  Warden concluded that alcohol was not a contributing factor in the incident and all parties involved were wearing life jackets; therefore no citations were issued.
