RedactedNarrative: On August 6, 2016 at around 15:45 hours, I (RFC with DNR - L.E.) came to the Blue Ridge Marina to launch the DNR patrol vessel when I noticed an ambulance and several emergency personal on the gas dock. I stopped to investigate and learned that VICTIM had injured his right leg while attempting to wake board. 
  
  Fannin EMS transported Victim to the Fannin Regional Hospital. I spoke with the owner and operator of the vessel used in the incident. (VESSEL (V01: MALIBU / 2001 / 21 F / BLACK / SC5382BM ) 
  
  Operator is also the Brother-in-Law of the victim. Operator advised that victim was learning to wake board while (Victim's wife), Operator's three juvenile children, and himself were in the vessel. Operator and the three juveniles described the incident to me. 
  
  They advised that Victim was holding on to the ski rope as the vessel accelerated. Victim was still low in the water and pushing a lot of water with the wake board instead of standing up on top of the water. Victim appeared to start to twist the board to help stand up on top of the water and then he let go of the rope and went down into the water. 
  
  As the boat came around to try again, they noticed Victim was in pain and they got him into the boat. They called Fannin County Dispatch and transported Victim to the gas dock at the marina. Later on, wife corroborated the story of Operator. Wife stated that Fannin Regional Hospital had advised that Victim's right femur had been fractured and they were transporting him to Marietta for further treatment. No violations were observed. End of report.
