RedactedNarrative: V1, a PWC, was heading north in the ICW in the area of Little Sarasota Bay with 3 POB's when the operator of V1 jumped a large wake from a passing vessel.  
  
  After jumping the wake and upon impact with the water the operator was slammed against the steering column of the PWC.  The impact also caused 2 other occupants to slam their bodies against the operator.  Good samaritans assisted all the passengers back to the marina where the PWC was rented.  The operator was transported to the hospital for evaluation.  Once transported the operator was evaluated by hospital staff and determined to have no broken bones, just severe bruising to the chest area.
