On July 13, 2013, at approximately 1630 hours, Operator was towing his two sons, and family friend on a tube between Victoria Landing and Kellogg Creek on Allatoona Lake in Cherokee County.  Operator stated that he was running around fifteen miles per hour and began to get into some big waves left by wake-board boats also skiing in the area.  When Operator turned his vessel the tube hit the big waves and flipped over throwing all three tubers off.  All three tubers hit each others heads causing injuries.  Operator stated that his son was acting very irate and ill and he decided to have his injuries treated.  Operator returned to the Gatewood Landing where he was met by Bartow County Emergency Personnel.  The EMTs on scene decided it would be best if Son was transported to Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta for further evaluation.  After completing the accident investigation, I traveled to Scottish Rite Children's Hospital to inquire on Son's injuries.  Son was submitted to a CT Scan, which indicated a fractured left orbital bone.  Son was also seen by a plastic surgeon to repair the one inch laceration to his left lower lip.  I left the hospital and urged the parents of Son to notify me if Son's conditions changed.
