On May 22, 2013 at approximately 1530 hours two people  rented a PWC together from Emerald Water Sports Inc. The people that were working the booth that day never asked to see their Boater I.D. cards nor gave them the Florida Boater Safety course.  The employees did have them sign the release of liability form.  They showed them were the throttle was located, how to stop the PWC, and sent them on their way.  While Operator was operating the PWC in the Gulf of Mexico, she struck a large wave and the PWC went high in the air.  When the PWC came back down it struck the water with a lot of force ejecting both the operator and the passenger.  While being ejecting the operator struck the PWC with her left leg and face.  This resulted in the operator breaking her femur (left leg), chipping ad front tooth, and causing abrasions to her chin. The vessel Sea Screamer was in the location of the accident and transported operator to the marina where she was transported to Gulf Coast Medical Center by EMS and admitted for treatment.      ;
