A group of three friends rented Vessel 1 and a tube to recreate on the lake.  All three completed rental examinations so they could operate Vessel 1 as they had not completed a full Ohio Boater Education Course (OBEC).  Two additional persons were also on board Vessel 1, but did not take the rental examination or operate Vessel 1.  After pulling the tuber on a tube for a while, the group began circling Vessel 1 around the tube.  The Victim (on the tube at this time) observed Vessel 1 approaching too close to the tube during these maneuvers and jumped off the tube into the water to avoid being struck.  Upon surfacing he screamed for assistance and the remaining Occupants aboard Vessel 1 pulled him back onto Vessel 1 where they observed excessive bleeding from the Victim's foot.  The group transported the Victim back to the rental marina where 911 was contacted.  The Victim was transported to the hospital for treatment.  All parties involved in this incident hae since left the state and have been unresponsive to contact although it has been reported that the Victim underwent additional surgery on the injured foot at a New Jersey hospital.
