RedactedNarrative: The operator of the vessel was traveling south out of the Great Creek area of Lake Gaston in Mecklenburg County pulling two tubes, with one individual on each tube. The operator turned the vessel, just prior to the Route 903 culvert, to return in the direction he had just traveled.  The boat and tubes crossed the wake of their boat, causing the one of the tubes to launch out of the water throwing the occupant into the water. Upon impact with the water the victim's right knee came into contact with the right side of his forehead causing a substantial cut to the forehead.
