RedactedNarrative: According to the operator of vessel 1 and investigation on 7/4/14, at approximately 2:00pm in the cove at bass drive in lake norman at sherrill's ford, the operator of vessel 1 was pulling a tube behind a jet ski with subject aboard. The cove is very narrow and vessel 1 was pulling the tube in a northern direction on plane. Vessel 1 changed direction turning sharply to head back south swinging the tube wide to its port side and hitting a dock. The operator of vessel 1 and the victim were both wearing properly fitted pfds and the vessel was properly equipped with fire extinguisher and was properly registered. The victim suffered very minor bruising to her left side and left arm. Ems and other rescue personnel were called to the scene and she was transported to lake norman medical center in huntersville in an ambulance. The cove where the accident occurred is very narrow and was very crowded upon arrival on the scene, and thus the jet ski should have been at no wake speed. Also, lake norman has a rule, 15a ncac 10f.0307, which disallows any vessel from operating above no wake speed within 50 yards of any marked boat launching area, bridge, dock, pier, marina, boat storage structure, or boat service area on the waters of lake norman. 
  
  The accident could be attributed to the operator's inexperience, and careless and reckless operation traveling at excessive speeds in the narrow cove. Alcohol was not involved in the accident. The operator of vessel 1 was issued a citation for careless and reckless operation.
