RedactedNarrative: The victim was on the lake during the day on a pontoon boat with several friends, the majority were impaired. 
  
  The victim's brother was the operator and was driving the boat toward shore. The victim was sitting on the front of the pontoon boat outside the safety rail. Witnesses said they hit a wave and the victim fell off the boat and went under between the pontoons and was struck by the propeller. 
  
  He received several lacerations - right leg, right shoulder, neck and head. A man who was in another boat saw the victim fall off the boat. He didn't see him surface but then saw him bobbing in the water when WC #1 passed him. 
  
  The man jumped in the water and grabbed the victim to prevent him from drowning. He was able to remain afloat with the victim until 2 or 3 other guys got them out of the water and on the boat. They brought him to shore, where emergency personnel met them. He was taken by ambulance to a landing zone and transported to a hospital in Rochester by air ambulance. All occupants of the boat were found to be in their mid- to late-twenties and the group, as a whole, had been consuming alcoholic beverages. 
  
  The operator was arrested for BWI and Criminal Vehicular Operation of a Watercraft. Life jackets were not being worn by anyone on the boat. There were four people in an additional boat that was travelling with WC #1 who were witnesses to the incident.
