RedactedNarrative: On July 27, 2019 at approximately 14:15 pm, a boat incident occurred on Lake Hickory at Lakeside Marina (35.7598, -81.3781). There was only one vessel involved and it was a twenty foot 2017 Suntracker FB20 pontoon boat with a 90 horsepower outboard motor being operated by the owner. 
  
  The operator and witnesses explained that the group was undocking from Lakeside Marina after stopping for a break.  Subject put her arm out of the boat between the rails of the bimini top in order to push off of a piling.  Operator explained that at the same time he was standing beside the operator's seat looking behind him as he backed, and when he turned around to move back behind the wheel, he tripped and caught himself on the throttle pushing the throttle fully into reverse.  The sudden jolt of propulsion caused her arm to get caught between the rails of the bimini top and the dock piling breaking the arm in multiple places.  There was no property damage.
  
  In conclusion, after speaking with the operator and witnesses, it appears that no violations occurred. The cause of the accident appears to be due to operator inattention and improper undocking.
