RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, a 22-foot Four Winns pontoon boat, was anchored near the entrance to Short Creek on Lake Guntersville in the vicinity of the rock ledge located on the right as you access Short Creek from the main channel.
  
  Two of the occupants were in the water behind the pontoon boat floating on foam noodles and holding a line attached to the rear of the vessel. 
  
  When Subject1 returned to the boat, her husband acknowledged the boat had drifted closer to the rock ledge. Because of moderate winds and choppy water, the anchor had not set properly due to the rocking of the boat. Subject1’s husband attempted to loosen the anchor while subject2 started the boat and placed it in gear in an effort to ease the tension on the line. At that point Subject1’s husband heard Victim scream as she was pulled into the propeller. The line Victim was holding had become entangled around her hip and right femur and pulled her into the moving propeller. Subject1’s husband stated he quickly placed the boat''s throttle selector in the neutral position as Subject2 and Subject1 entered the water to assist Victim. 
  
  Victim sustained injuries to the right side of her body, from just below her breast plate region to mid-femur. Subject2 and Subject1 were able to pull Victim from the water within a few minutes of the accident. They then traveled approximately 4-miles to the Lake Guntersville State Park beach boat ramp, where they met Guntersville Fire and Rescue personnel. Victim was stabilized and transported to the Level 1 Trauma Center at Huntsville Hospital.
