RedactedNarrative: V1 was traveling south toward Lee Roy Wright boat ramp on when the operator hit black mud with the airboat that caused the vessel to come to an immediate stop causing the operator to be ejected forward out the vessel. 
  
  I was informed the operator had possibly sustained a broken leg. I met with Operator’s wife at the ramp who informed me that her husband was operating his vessel back toward the 520 boat ramp when he hit a patch of thick mud, the airboat came to an immediate stop and Operator was thrown forward out of the boat. He landed on his leg and it broke. She explained that Operator was able to call her from his cell phone and they drove to the ramp. She stated that during that time two good Samaritan airboats drove by her husband and tried to assist him but they couldn’t lift him onto the boat. The good Samaritan’s drove to the ramp, picked up Operator’s daughter and several Brevard Fire and Rescue men who returned to the scene and were going to lift Operator onto his boat and operated it back to the ramp.
   
  A short time later several vessel’s made their way toward the ramp. The first to pull up the ramp had Operator laying across the bow of the vessel on a backboard. I confirmed with the operator’s wife that the vessel was the vessel involved in the accident. She confirmed it was. The vessel was an aluminum airboat bearing Florida registration numbers FL 2335 PH. It was a silver, black and lime green colored vessel with “Monster” written on it. Fire and Rescue loaded Operator onto a stretcher and placed him in the ambulance and awaited the helicopter. Operator was flown to Holmes Regional Hospital in regards to his broken leg and possible artery injuries. 
   
  Operator had undergone one surgery where they placed two pins in his leg to set the bones and there was a possibility that he may have to undergo a second surgery. The impact caused his left leg bone to break below the knee cap.
