I responded to a report of an injury accident on a Personal Water Craft (PWC) at Rendezvous Beach from the state marina. I was forced to downgrade my response as the siren went out in the patrol vehicle half-way there. The ambulance arrived first and began patient care. I spoke with OPERATOR who was in the front seat of the ambulance and she recounted the incident to me as she was the operator on the PWC at the time of the incident.

OPERATOR stated that they were going no more than 20 MPH on the Personal Water Craft (PWC) and hit a large wave with VICTIM as passenger. She said that when they hit the wave, the straps/strap holders on her (the operator's) PFD (where VICTIM was holding on) ripped allowing VICTIM to slide straight off the back of the PWC. 
As VICTIM slid off the back of the PWC, the water jet from the PWC caused damage to her vaginal area. Unable to re-board the PWC, the two were able to get the attention of a passing boat which brought them back to shore.

After the ambulance left, I gathered information from the rental concessionaire in the park and observed the PFD VICTIM was wearing. There was no damage to the PWC and the PFD appeared to be slightly sun faded but otherwise looked as if it was likely in satisfactory condition, before it was ripped.

The owner of the Personal Water Craft involved is listed as BLH Enterprises.
