RedactedNarrative: V1 had just launched in a small pond and was traveling at idle speed to a cut out in the bank that led to the st.johns river approximately 50 yards away. As v1 hit the dry cut out it throttled up to turn to the right. As v1 turned to the right the back left side of v1 slid and caught dry land causing the vessel to stick and roll over on its side. 
  
  Operator had just launched his airboat in the small launch pond just off the St. Johns River. 
  - Operator had one passenger on board, his wife. 
  - Operator exited through the small pond at 1-5 mph headed toward a small cut in the bank of dry land that led to the main river. 
  - When Operator exited the small pond and hit the strip of dry land he accelerated and turned to the right to face the river. 
  - As he accelerated and turned the back of the vessel slid out to the left catching dry ground which made the vessel stop sliding immediately causing it to tip over on its side. 
  - As the vessel tipped over and landed on its left side Operator and his wife were ejected to the left and both persons landed on the dirt. 
  - Wife was six months pregnant and also received injuries to her left elbow. 911 was contacted and ambulance arrived to transport wife for her injuries. 
  - Operator and a friend flipped the vessel back up right and Operator loaded it back on the trailer prior to my arrival. 
  I completed a safety vessel inspection on the vessel and found it to not have mufflers which are required by law on airboats. I asked Operator if he knew he was suppose to have the mufflers and he admitted he did. Operator then filled out a sworn written statement of the actions of the accident. Photos were taken of the vessel involved. 
  Operator was issued a citation for operating a airboat with no mufflers. After releasing Operator from the scene I responded to Wuesthoff Medical Center in Rockledge, FL to check the status of the injured passenger. Once at the hospital I learned that there were no complications with her pregnancy and she received a dislocated left elbow and slight fracture to the left elbow. She was released later that day.
