  Operator #1 stated in effect: My friend and I rented a Jetski and were not properly instructed on how to operate it. I attempted to operate the Jetski and did not know how to slow down. 1 crashed into the dock, my friend and I were ejected and both of us hit the dock.
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling westbound in the confines of Elco Marina. The operator of Vessel #1 failed to maintain directional control and subsequently struck the dock at the 12 (YClock position causing disabling damage to the Port side Bow. The operator and the passenger were ejected and both struck the dock, sustaining non life threatening injuries.
  Operator of the vessel did not possess a boater safety certificate due to the vessel being a rental. 
  My investigation of this accident is based on the operator's statements and surveillance video from the date and time of the accident. The operator stated she was not properly versed in the operation of a personal watercraft and therefore not able to control the vessel in a safe manner. The operator operated the vessel at a high rate of speed in a confined area and failed to properly maintain control of the vessel.
