RedactedNarrative: The operator of the open motorboat had a child tubing behind his vessel in the middle of Beaver Lake. On the third run around the lake, the operator was heading easterly towards the shoreline then turned westerly into the glare of the sun. While heading westerly, he turned the vessel to the left whipping the tube with his son to the right crossing over the wake. With the momentum of the whip the tube hit the rear starboard side of the kayak. The tube flew across the kayak hitting the operator in the back and rib area and landed on the port side of the kayak, with the child landing in the water. The child was hysterical and cut his knee but managed to get out of the water with the help of his father. The kayakerwas sore from the impact paddled to the shoreline refusing medical treatment by ambulance but drove himself to the hospital. The kayaker was treated and released diagnosed with bruised ribs and muscle soreness in the rib area.
