RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated: "I was in the rental zone and had gone around the course a few times.  I was starting to feel comfortable on the PWC and everything was going good.  I had made a left turn then straightened it back out.  I went over a wave and then came down hard.  This is when I hurt my ankle, and fell off the PWC."
  
      On 09/19/2015 (Saturday), I was dispatched to investigate a one vessel PWC accident at Wallys World Rental Zone in Ocean City.  Tpr. responded to the scene and processed same.  I responded to Shore Memorial Hospital where the operator had been transported by Ocean City Rescue Squad.  I met with the operator who advised that she had injured her left ankle while operating a rental PWC.  This injury occurred when the PWC left the water surface and re-entered  the choppy waves.  Upon the re-entry the operator came down and possibly broke her left ankle.  Following this she fell off the PWC into the water.  
  
      Investigation revealed that the above vessel was traveling northbound near Rainbow Channel, in Ocean City, Cape May County, New Jersey.  During this time, Vessel #1 traveled over a wave and left the surface of the water.  The PWC re-entered the water and the operator's foot impacted the foot well of the PWC.  This caused an internal injury to her left ankle.  Following this she fell off of the PWC.  The zone supervisors assisted her onto a nearby vessel and brought her back to the Marina.  Here they called for help and Ocean City Police Department and Ocean City EMS responded to the scene.  She was taken to Shore Memorial Hospital for additional treatment.  Same was listed in stable condition and was alert and conscious.
