The Operator of Vessel 1 was backing the trailering vehicle (Property 1) down the ramp when he inadvertently applied the accelerator rather than the brake.  The vehicle and trailer were propelled onto the dock and then into the water, eventually becoming completely submerged.  The driver's side door of the vehicle was open with the Operator's left foot hanging out at this time; the Operator struck his ankle on the dock causing injury as a result of the incident.
