RedactedNarrative: On thursday april 28, 2022 at approximately 6:45pm, a pwc struck a dock causing injury to the operator and damage to the dock and vessel.
  
  While attempting to dock, the operator placed his right hand on the dock and his left hand on the throttle.  The throttle was turned causing the pwc to propel forward traveling underneath the dock.  The operator impacted the dock and was thrown into the water.  
  
  The dock had a large portion of a 2 x 6 support board broken off and the pwc hood and upper portion of the handlebars were damaged.
  
  The operator was transported by ems to the outerbanks hospital where he was treated and released.  He suffered bruising to his chest and lacerations to his head, left hand and left foot.
  
  The probable cause of this incident was operator inattention as he did not realize he pwc was still on when reaching for the throttle.  There were four of the operator's friends on the dock assisting with securing the pwc which may have contributed to the operator's inattention.
