RedactedNarrative: The watercraft was pulling two tubes at about 20-25 MPH. One tube had two people and one had a single person. The operator stated that both tubes exited the wake, and when the tube with the single occupant came back across, it was about 5-10 feet in front of the other tube. 
  
  The tuber saw that he was going towards the rope of the other tube, so while sideways, he tried to lift the rope over himself. The rope then came back down straight across the front of his body then turning him onto his left side and continuing to cut across the left of him just below his life jacket. It pulled him off the tube. He then laid in the water in a seated position with the help of his life jacket, yelling that he needed help and at this point he still seemed to be ok. 
  
  He said he couldn't move so the operator had a few of the watercraft passengers jump in to swim him to the boat. They went to shore, where paramedics transported him to the hospital. All were wearing life jackets. Alcohol was not a factor.
