RedactedNarrative: On 6/4/17 at approximately 4:11 PM, I (CPO) was advised of a boater with a broken leg.  Victim was approximately 1/4 mile West of the Starved Rock Marina on the Illinois River and requesting assistance.  At approximately 3:30 PM, Ottawa River Rescue picked up Utica EMS and myself at the Marinaand transported us to the location of the accident.  When we arrived, Victim was laying in the back seat of the vessel with a makeshift splint on his leg.  EMS applied an actual splint and transported him to the River Rescue boat.  Victim stated they (he and his wife) had been jumping out of the boat and in to the water.  The water was about 10 feet when they started, but they drifted towards the shoreline and did not realize the water was as shallow as it was.  The final time he jumped, the water was only a couple feet deep and he landed hard and broke his leg. Once he was on board, I operated his to Allen Park along with his wife and a River Rescue Volunteer, and loaded it on the trailer. 
  
  I later found out he had broken his leg in (3) spots and had a surgery before he was released on June 6th.
  
  No violations were discovered and no enforcement action was taken.
