TWO OF THE PASSENGERS WERE IN THE WATER (JUST FINISHED WATERSKIING), WHEN THE OPERATOR OF THE BOAT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MANEUVER THE BOAT IN ORDER TO LOAD THEM UP.  THE OPERATOR PUSHED THE THROTTLE FORWARD AND TURNED THE BOAT TO THE LEFT, THE OPERATOR THOUGHT HE COULD TURN AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE AND CIRCLE AROUND TO COME BACK AND PICK THEM UP.  AS A RESULT OF THE  OPERATOR TURNING THE BOAT TO THE LEFT AND PUTTING THE BOAT IN FORWARD GEAR, THE PROPELLER PUSHED THE REAR/AFT OF THE BOAT AT AN ESTIMATED 2-3 MPH RIGHT TOWARDS THE TWO PEOPLE WHEN THE PROPELLER HIT THE LEG (JUST BELOW THE HIP) OF ONE OF THEM.  THE INJURED PERSON WAS PULLED INTO THE BOAT BY THE OTHER PASSENGERS.  THE OTHER PERSON WHO WAS IN THE WATER PULLED HIMSELF IN THE BOAT AND THE OPERATOR DROVE THE BOAT BACK TO SHORE WHERE THEY WERE MET BY THE EMS AND SHERIFF.  THE INJURED PERSON WAS LIFE-FLIGHTED TO THE HOSPITAL IN SALT LAKE CITY, UT.
