RedactedNarrative: OPERATOR1 was operating his PWC (vessel #1) near other vessels on Centralia City Lake.  OPERATOR1 turned to go the opposite direction that he had been traveling. Vessel #2 was coming towards OPERATOR1 towing SUBJECT on an intertube connected to the vessel by a rope.  
  
  OPERATOR1 let off the throttle and continued coasting toward vessel #2.  Vessel #2 turned the vessel and caused the intertube to swing out behind the vessel toward OPERATOR1.  
  
  OPERATOR1 tried to push the rope over his head, but he was pulled off of the PWC by the rope.  
  
  The occupant on vessel #1, was sitting behind OPERATOR1 and was also ejected off of the PWC due to the rope.  SUBJECT, who had been riding on the intertube, had bailed off of the intertube before the collision.  
  
  After the two individuals were pulled off of Vessel #1 the rope got caught around the handle bars of the PWC and caused damage to the surrounding fiberglass, internal steering parts, and the digital speed display.  OPERATOR1 believes the momentum of vessel #2 continued to pull the rope and cause the damage to vessel #1.  There was no contact with vessel #2, only the rope being pulled by vessel #2.  OPERATOR1 was given a written warning for Negligent Operation of a Vessel (KSA 32-1125) for operating his vessel too close to other vessels and in a manner that could endanger property or persons.
