The seven Occupants aboard Vessel 1 were taking turns operating and skiing throughout the day.  The Victim was sitting on the top of the rear seat and stepped down into the boat in order to take over operation.  At this time Vessel 1 was in neutral and not anchored.  The Victim either slipped or lost her balance as she stepped down, landing wrong on her left ankle.  Other Occupants aboard Vessel 1 recall hearing a loud "pop" when the incident occured.  The group then wrapped the Victim's leg in ice, elevated it, contacted 911, and headed to the Robinson's Point Launch Ramp to meet emergency services.  The Victim was transported to St. Elizabeth's Main Hospital for her injury, which was later diagnosed as a broken left ankle.
