OPERATOR WAS TOWING HIS CHILDREN ON AN INNER TUBE BEHIND HIS PWC. HE STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING AT 4-5 MPH AROUND A CORNER WHEN THE TUBE WENT UNDER THE BRANCHES OF A MANGROVE TREE. THE KIDS DUCKED TO AVOID HITTING THE BRANCH AND HIS DAUGHTER LIFTED HER HEAD TOO SOON BEFORE CLEARING THE TREE. AS A RESULT, SHE STRUCK A BRANCH WITH HER FOREHEAD CAUSING A SEVERE LACERATION. I RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND TRANSPORTED HER AND HER MOTHER TO AN AWAITING EMS BOAT FOR TRANSPORTATION TO THE HOSPITAL. THE INJURY WAS NO LIFE-THREATENING AND MOST LIKELY ONLY REQUIRED STITCHES. THE OPERATOR WAS GUILTY OF CARELESS OPERATION AND FAILURE TO USE A PROPER LOOKOUT WHILE TOWING SKIERES.;
