On June 15, 2013, at approximately 18:35 dispatch informed all Bullfrog rangers that a female who was in a personal water craft accident was at the covered slips dock and stock. I responded in my patrol boat from Stanton Creek campground in Bullfrog Bay.

I arrived on scene to find Victim sitting on the front of a boat conscious and breathing. I could tell she was dazed because she took a few seconds to tell me her name. At that time Officer and other National Park Service Rangers arrived on scene with the ambulance and took over. I then started to question individuals about what happen. owner of the personal water craft (PWC) explained that his son was operating the PWC when Victim was thrown off the back during a turn. I informed Owner that I would need to get the PWC's information which he directed me to his houseboat in Bullfrog Bay. 

After collecting the vessels information, I looked over the machine for any damage or signs of impact. I found no evidence of Victim hitting the water craft and no damage. I returned to the Bullfrog clinic to question owner who was the operator. 

Owner explained that he was driving in a straight line in the Bullfrog Bay area and decided to make a right hand turn. Owner let off the throttle and began to slow down prior to turning. Upon making the right hand turn Victim and another passenger fell off the PWC into the water. Owner explained to me that he saw Victim's legs fly over his head and that she went right into the water without hitting any part of the PWC. Owner said that both (second passenger) and Victim swam back to the PWC under their own power. Victim even laughed about being thrown off. It wasn't until Owner was driving back to the houseboat that Victim felt dizzy and began to go in and out of consciousness. Victim was transferred to another boat and taken to the Bullfrog dock and stock when dispatch was notified.  

Due to the fact of the amount of boat traffic in the bay along with wind conditions I believe Owner hit a large wave during the turn causing the Wes and Victim to be thrown from the PWC. Excess speed during the turn is another contributing factor to the vessel accident.
