On 08/04/2013 I, RFC received a call in reference to a boat incident near Old Federal Park's boat ramp. I traveled to the area. Everyone had left the area by the time I arrived. I spoke to Army Corps Officer at the scene. Officer stated that a fifteen year old subject  was operating a PWC when he fell off and struck his back on the PWC. He was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for treatment. I collected the mothers information, who was also a witness from Officer.
On 08/05/2013 I contacted (Mother/witness). She stated that at approximately 14:35 hrs Operator was operating the PWC. He attempted to jump a wake of a passing vessel. During the jump he lost his grip on the PWC falling off and striking his lower back on the ski. He was able to make it back to shore. There his back started to hurt really badly. When emergency personal arrived they transported Operator to Northeast Georgia Medical Center as a precaution. He was treated for back contusions and discharged from the medical center. I advised mother that Operator could not operate the PWC by himself until he turned sixteen or completed the appropriate boaters course. She quoted the previous law in reference to direct supervision. I informed her of the new law change and told her that I was not going to take any enforcement action in this case.

No further details at this time.
