RedactedNarrative: On Thursday, September 17, 2015 at approximately 1429 Hours I was approached by three males while at the Bartlett Lake MCSO Aid Station. One male was holding a towel over the right side of his face. One of the other males, identified as Subject1, informed me that Victim was wake boarding when he fell and hit his head on the wake board.
  
  I advised Dispatch via radio and requested that fire be dispatched to my location. I had Victim take a seat inside of the Aid Station and provided him with an ice pack at his request. I observed that Victim had a large laceration which traveled from his mid right cheek to the right corner of his mouth. I instructed Victim to keep applying pressure to the wound and spoke with Subject1 to obtain further details about the incident. Subject1 stated the following to me in essence:
  
  Subject1 stated operator was operating a boat which was rented from the Bartlett lake marina. Subject1 also stated Victim was wake boarding at the time of the incident and they were practicing for an upcoming competition. Subject1 then stated Victim was being towed by about 65 feet of rope and attempted a trick known as "railing". Subject1 informed me that when Victim was attempting this trick, he fell and struck his wake board. Subject1 stated the boat was traveling at approximately 22 miles per hour at the time of incident. Subject1 then stated the boat and the rest of the occupants were currently returning the boat to the marina.
  
  This concludes the primary statements made by Subject1.
  
  I asked Victim if he lost consciousness during the incident to which he indicated he did not. Victim was then able to properly answer simple questions as to his name, the date, his current location and the current president. Victim was also able to inform me that after the incident, he was able to pull himself into the boat without anyone else entering the water. I observed that Victim was wearing a PFD at the time of incident however it was not U.S. Coast Guard approved. When asked why he was not wearing an approved PFD, Victim and Subject1 indicated they believed if they were training for a competition it did not need to be approved. I later counseled the parties that if they are just practicing at a non-sanctioned event, an approved PFD needs to be warn. Photographs of Victim''s injury, the PFD, wake board and towel were taken and later submitted to the MCSO Crime Lab.
  
  Rural/Metro fire responded at 1457 hours and transported Victim to Thompson Peak Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. 
  
  After Victim was transported, I traveled to the Bartlett Lake Marina in an attempt to contact the operator and obtain information from the rest of the occupants.
  
  Due to no indication of reckless behavior from Victim being noted, he was not issued a citation for not wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD.
  
  Nothing further by this Deputy.
