RedactedNarrative: The deputy was dispatched to a medical that was upgraded to a water emergency, where a man had cut his head during a single-boat accident. 
  
  The injured party was the boat operator. He was travelling on plane when he reached for a life jacket that was about to blow out of the boat. As he did so, he pushed the tiller handle to the port side of the boat which caused the boat to make an unexpected and abrupt starboard turn. 
  
  This caused the operator to fall forward and hit his head on the boat's interior surface - a shelf interior of the port gunwale. This also caused the passenger in the bow to be ejected from the boat. 
  
  The middle passenger was able to regain control of the boat and help the operator to his seat. The middle passenger then assisted the bow passenger back into the boat with the assistance from members of the same fishing party who were in another boat and witnessed the incident. A person from that boat then drove WC #1 back to the lodge where medical treatment was obtained. Operator #1 was transported to the hospital by ambulance. The bow passenger was checked on scene and released. All parties had life jackets readily accessible, but were not wearing them. Alcohol was not a factor.
