RedactedNarrative: On October 10, 2020, at approximately 1845 hours, a single vessel incident occurred on Henderson Lake where the operator of a vessel stated; “that his glass of tea had tipped over in the bottom of the vessel. 
  
  “When Operator1 reached over to upright the drink, he inadvertently pushed on the tiller handle of the outboard motor causing the vessel to abruptly turn.  The sudden change in direction ejected Operator1 from the vessel into the water.  The vessel continued to turn and entered a full circle striking Operator1 in the face with the vessel's propeller.  
  
  Operator1 sustained lacerations to his face, fractures to his skull and possible damage to his right eye.  Upon inspection of the vessel, investigators determined Operator1 was not wearing his engine safety shutoff lanyard at the time of the incident or his lifejacket.   
  
  Operator1 suffered lacerations to the left side of his face, his forehead, and the right side of his face.  He also suffered facial fractures and possible loss of vision in his right eye.
