RedactedNarrative: I, Game Warden, was at the fuel dock at Las Vegas Boat Harbor on Lake Mead  on June 13, 2015 at approximately 14:45 hours when an employee with the Las Vegas Boat Harbor informed me of a woman who had been injured while being towed on a tube. The employee informed me that the woman was in the employee break room. I notified Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) dispatch and located the injured woman in the break room. 
  
  The woman informed me that she had crashed on a tube while being towed and was suffering from pain in her left side, was having difficulty breathing, and had been near passing out while on the vessel.  I requested medical assistance from the National Parks Service (NPS). Victim stated that she had been on a tube being towed behind her daughter''s vessel. She stated that as the vessel beginning to accelerate and turn right she fell off the tube to the left. She stated that during the fall she had suffered an injury to her side. When asked where the vessel was now, she informed me that her daughter was attempting to remove it from the water at Hemminway Launch Ramp. NPS Rangers and medical personnel arrived on scene. I provided NPS Sgt. Schlesinger with a description of the vessel and had him attempt to locate the vessel at the launch ramp.  NPS medical personnel transported Victim to Boulder City Hospital for evaluation. 
  
  I met Sgt. on the Hemminway Launch Ramp where he had located the vessel involved in the accident. I interviewed the operator and other occupants. Operator stated that she was operating the vessel and that she was towing her mom on the tube behind the vessel. Operator stated that as she began to accelerate and turn that Victim fell of the tube. After retrieving Victim from the water she stated that she had injured her ribs. They then returned to the harbor and dropped off Victim before loading the vessel on the trailer. I collected a written statement from Operator.
  
  I had NDOW dispatch run the vessel for wants and current registration. I checked the vessel''s safety equipment. The vessel had adequate wearable personal floatation devices (PFD) and a serviceable fire extinguisher.  The vessel did not have a type IV throwable PFD on board. I issued Operator a warning for NRS 488.193 NAC 488.405 for fail to carry a type IV PFD. 
  
  Victim informed me that she had bruised ribs. Victim was released from the hospital later that evening.
