RedactedNarrative: On sunday may 13, 2018 around 7:30 p.m, a boating incident occurred on badin lake near the designated swimming area in the town of badin across from 293 hwy 740 badin, nc.  The vessel is a 11 foot 2017 sea doo bombardier gtx ltd 300 personal watercraft.  The operator at the time of the incident was the owners brother-in law.  The female passenger was the operator's daughter.  The operator stated that they were traveling around 50 to 60 mph as another vessel passed them from head on heading towards the badin lake access area.  The operator attempted to jump the vessel's wake that had passed them.  Operator1 was well away from the other vessel by at least 75 yards.  Once the personal watercraft made contact with the wake of the other vessel, the impact threw the operator and the passenger from the personal watercraft.  During the ejection, the female passenger's leg made contact with the personal watercraft causing a small laceration and swelling.
  
  operator1 and his passenger, were cruising on the personal watercraft heading towards the badin access area.  Operator1 saw another vessel coming towards him and decided to jump the wake of the oncoming vessel once it passed.  Operator1, traveling at a high speed made contact with the wake of the other vessel which caused him to lose control and be ejected from the personal watercraft.   The female passengerwas also ejected.  During the ejection the passenger’s leg struck a portion of the watercraft.  The passenger experienced immediate pain in her lower left leg.  
  
  The vessel that caused the wake saw what had taken place and turned around to assist the personal watercraft.  The vessel picked up v1 subjects into their boat.  Once secured in the vessel, operator1 then got back onto the personal watercraft and went to the badin access area. The vessel transported victim to the badin lake access area.  
  
  The first responders and ems arrived at the badin lake access area.  V1 occupant was transported to stanly reginal hospital where she was examined.   She had no broken bones or further injuries other than swelling and a very small laceration on her left shin.  V1 occupant was treated and released from stanly regional hospital within a couple of hours.   I spoke with operator1 by phone on thursday may 17th around 11:25 a.m.  he stated that v1 occupant had no further injuries to her leg according the pediatrician.  
  
  All safety equipment was accounted for.  V1 occupant was the only one injured in the boating incident.  Alcohol and/or drugs was not a factor in this incident.
