RedactedNarrative: two pwcs were operating in close proximity to each other, when the operator of V2 looked up he noticed V1 directly in front of him and was not able to change course before striking V1.  all operators and occupants were thrown overboard. 
  
  Operator2 sustained for a laceration on his chin and Operator1 was treated for possible broken ribs. Operator1 was transported to Gulf Coast Medical Centerby EMS on run # 2014-020-279 and Operator2 went to Gulf Coast Medical Center by Taxi, where it was discovered that Operator1 had a ruptured spleen and would be needing surgery. Only two people were injured but a passenger was on the ski with Operator2, his wife. All three were ejected from their ski and picked up by a passing boat. 
  
  I got written statement from Operator2 and his wife at the scene but Operator1 could not tell me anything due to pain. Operator2 said that his friend Operator1 had struck his ski when Operator1 made a hard turn to the left and circled around striking Operator2's ski on the left side.
