On 09/27/13 at approximately 1330 hours V1, FL 5344 PM was traveling northbound just offshore of Miami Beach located in the general area of 42nd Street.  The operator of V1 was cruising at approximately 21 to 40 MPH at which time they attempted to change direction.  As a result, victim/occupant lost grip, fell onto the PWC and then fell into the water.  Miami-Dade Ocean Rescue was on scene and transported him to the beach in reference to a chin laceration.  Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded shortly after and transported victim to Mount Sinai Hospital where he received treatment.  V1 was a rental PWC from Miami Beach Sports and there were 2 persons on board at the time of the accident.  The operator of V1 was not injured.; victim was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital by Miami Dade Fire Rescue where he received 11 stitches to his chin.  I met with him to obtain a written statement and he appeared to be in good condition.
