V1 was operating his Duck Boat, sitting on the side of the boat. He was towing one of his children in a tube, and his other child was in the boat with him. As he sat on the edge of the boat, he hit a wave which threw him out of the boat. He pulled the tether cord, which stretched and did not kill the engine. He was cut by the propeller in the leg as he tried to re-enter the boat. He eventually climbed into the boat, and transported himself back to shore, where he was transported by ambulance for medical treatment.
