  The occupants of V-1 and the swimmers shared the same riverside beach. V-1 was parked at the east end of the beach. As Operator attempted to start V-1, subject1 pushed it from the shore. She jumped in V-1 and sat on the bow. While Operator attempted to start V-1 the river current caused it to drift westward past the swimmers and vessels. 
  
  V-1 nearly struck the other parked vessels and caused swimmer1 to holler at Operator to watch out. When Operator was finally able to get V-1 started it had drifted approximately 100 feet and was pointed in a southeast direction. The engine was revved up when Operator put V-1 into forward gear and attempted to steer to the port and into deeper water.  
  
  As V-1 started forward witnesses noticed it was headed towards the swimmers standing in waist deep water. Two people yelled to warn everyone while one of the swimmers, saw V-1 approaching rapidly and began pulling the other swimmers from V-1’s path. 
  
  In the confusion, Operator hastily accelerated and turned sharply to the port in an attempt to miss the swimmers. Operator was unsuccessful. 
  
  Subject1 had pulled victim2 nearly clear and she received a scratch on the back of her right leg as she was struck by V-1’s hull. Subject1 also tried to pull victim1 clear, but she was struck by V-1’s propeller.  She suffered five lacerations on her left leg and swallowed some water.  Three were on her thigh, one behind the knee and one on her calf.; Victim2 was struck by the hull of V-1 and received a scratch on the rear of her right leg above the ankle.
