RedactedNarrative: According to witnesses, Operator operated a 24 foot Forest-River Inc. pontoon boat on Lake Lanier, in Sardis Creek, near Sardis Creek Park.  The witnesses advised that while Operator was operating the pontoon boat, he towed Victim behind on a tube.  At approximately 1615 hours, while Victim was being towed on the tube, the tow-rope managed to wrapped around his left upper arm.  The force of the rope resulted in Victim sustaining a fractured left humerus bone.  Additionally, witnesses provided me with a cell-phone video showing the moment the incident occurred.  The video shows Victim being injured while on the tube.  I obtained witness statements, then proceeded to NEGMC to meet with other witnesses, Victim, and Operator.  At NEGMC, I met with medical staff who confirmed the said injury to Victim's arm.  I also received additional witness statements, as well as interviewed Operator.  Operator admitted to operating the pontoon boat at the time of incident.  Victim was in severe pain, and could not provide a statement.   All witness statements were consistent, and appeared to support the manner in which the incident occurred.
