On April 29, 2012 at approximately 16:10 hrs, I observed operator operating a PWC on Old Hickory Lake.  Victim was a passenger on the back of the PWC.  I made contact with the two men at the Rockland Park Access.  Upon contact I observed Victim''s right shoulder was injured.  He stated that he had dislocated his shoulder while wake boarding behind the PWC Operator was operating.  Operator stated that he was operating the PWC approximately 100 yards outside of the "no wake" zone of Anchor High Marina and the Rockland Park Access.  He stated that he was traveling approximately 15 to 20 miles per hour in a straight direction while pulling Victim on a wake board.  Operator stated that Victim started to lean to the right, fell into the water and did not let go of the tow rope.  Upon impact with the water, Victim dislocated his shoulder.  I escorted Victim and his wife to the Hendersonville Medical Center for treatment.  Upon inspection of the PWC the registration had expired in August of 2011.  Operator stated he had purchased two PWC''s on April 28, 2012, but had not applied for a current registration.  There were not any mirrors, nor an observer aboard the PWC when the accident occurred.
