Vessel # 1 was heading down the Jordan river and struck a low lying boat dock while turning into an inlet that led back to their camp.  During impact the jet ski became airborne clearing the width if the initial dock and clearing a low lying walkway before coming to a final rest approximately 50 ft away in the marsh.   a witness to the accident estimated the jet ski was traveling  Approximately "30 to 40 mph" at the time of impact.  Operator was not ejected from the vessel but did suffer significant facial injuries after striking the console of boat.  He was transported to Hancock Medical Center and is unable to give first hand account due to his condition.   a friend of Operator whom was on his own jet ski and slightly behind stated that they had some minor mechanical issues with the jet ski earlier in the day but would not elaborate other than the battery needed a charge.  

Approximately a week later Operator stated as he was turning into the inlet, he looked back to see where his friend was and when he looked back forward there was post sticking up out of the water and he tried to dodge it and struck the dock.
He also stated he had 15 fractures in his face and a broke jaw and cheek bone.
