RedactedNarrative: On June 3, 2018 at approximately 1615 hours, I U.S. Park Ranger was in a meeting within the Bullfrog District Ranger Office, in Glen Canyon National Recreational Area, when U.S. Park Rangers were dispatched to the Bullfrog Clinic for a report of a 46 year old male waiting at the clinic door with a severed thumb. Dispatch had notified clinic staff and they were on their way to the clinic. When we arrived to the clinic door we found victim and his wife. Victim had his left hand wrapped up so we brought him into the clinic to evaluate him. Clinic staff then arrived and treated Victim.
  
  I then spoke with Wife about what had happened to cause this injury. She stated herself, Victim, her two daughters and their daughter's friend, had been tubing in Hall Creek Bay for a few hours when Victim jumped into the water to tube. Wife stated she started to move the vessel but had to stop very quickly because her daughters were yelling at her to stop because Victim had fallen off.
  
  I then spoke with Victim. He stated the tow line was wrapped around his arm when he was first getting on the tube. Victim was able to get the line off his arm, but it was still wrapped around his left hand. Victim continued to state when the vessel started to move the line tightened around his thumb and pulled off the top half of his left thumb. Victim immediately fell into the water and started to look for his thumb but could not find it.
  
  Wife then attempted to call 911 but was unable due to a lack of phone service. Wife then boated to Bullfrog executive docks where they were shuttled to the clinic by Aramark staff. On the way to the clinic, Wife was able to contact Glen Canyon dispatch and report the injury.
