RedactedNarrative: On 7/4/2021 at approx. 1600 hrs Wardens responded to an emergent call of a boat accident involving two individuals and a person still in the water. The call came from Pilot Butte (Morton) Reservoir in Fremont county. I arrived near the Sunrise boat ramp turnin to find an ATV with three occupants waving at me. They told me to follow them to the accident scene which was located on the north and central portion of the lake. I arrived on scene and discovered that all boat occupants were on shore, and one patient was identified. OP2 was the only patient, while the other individual involved in the accident was OP2s friend. I arrived on scene to OP2 on a blue tarp sitting still in the water, with the lower end of his left femur protruding through the front of his leg with severe damage to muscle tissue. Prior to my arrival, persons on scene applied a black nylon rope to OP2S thigh above the wound, however I believed blood was still actively flowing. I observed what I thought was active bleeding and severe trauma, coupled with OP2 having a pale/blueish color to his face, indicating possible shock. I applied a CAT tourniquet above the nylon rope currently on his leg and informed OP2 I needed to tighten the device, and that it would hurt. Once the tourniquet was applied, I instructed all available hands that we needed him out of the cold water to reduce his risk of shock. Together, we pulled OP2 while supporting his leg, out of the water on the tarp and let the water drain below him. I asked OP2 if he had struck his head and if he knew what day it was. OP2 said he had not struck his head and indicated no other injuries. He stated it was the 4th of July holiday. OP2 showed no sign of head injuries. I radioed to dispatch the condition of the patient, a location, and gave directions for Wardens to assist in the arrival of help. At this time, deputies arrived on scene with more medical equipment. We discussed the injury and they radioed for a life flight helicopter. We used sterile gauze, towels, and duct tape to secure the leg better for transport. Wardens started high flow oxygen by non rebreather mask at this time. As we finished the initial securing of the leg, an ambulance arrived and took over medical treatment of the patient and we assisted in preparing of IV bags and carrying OP2 and equipment.
  
  After loading the patient into the ambulance, we drove to the east to meet the helicopter. After OP2 was transferred to medical personnel on the ship, the initial provider gave me information about what OP2 stated had happened. He said OP2 indicated they were riding the two jetskis basically in a figure 8 type pattern and then he got in front of the other vessel too close that he couldn't stop. The provider indicated to me that OP2 mentioned he had consumed alcohol during the day but didn't specify time or amount.
  
  After OP2 was flown away, I asked Warden 1 to interview witnesses at the accident location and get written statements. Deputy 2 and I interviewed the other boat operator and Deputy 2 performed standardized field sobriety tests on the driver with his agreement to do so. He was negative for indications of impairment. I provided boat accident reporting paperwork to the jetski operator and seized both boats involved in the accident (owned by OWNER 1). OWNER 1 was willing to cooperate and understood our need for investigation of the accident. The boats were processed at the lander regional office of the Game and Fish Department the boat accident reconstruction investigator and boat accident investigator. 
  Witness statements obtained on scene indicated the jetskis were "horse playing" and one ski slowed down faster than the other could stop, causing the accident. This along with statement by OP2 indicate that the two were riding too close to each other and in such a way that could/did cause property damage and bodily injury.
