RedactedNarrative: On the evening of August 7th, 2016 subject and his 4 friends were being towed north from the rock quarry area of Kentucky Lake toward the canal between Barkley and Kentucky Lake. 
  
  The vessel Operator was operating was a 20' Sea Ray Runabout. A friend was towing the Sea Ray with a separate personal watercraft. 
  
  Somewhere around Moss Creek public access in LBL, the 20' runabout was able to start and run without immediately stalling out. At this point, around 5:25 PM, Victim said that he needed to use the bathroom. Operator stood on the swim deck at the stern of the boat but somehow slipped and fell into the water. According to all the witnesses and the injury sustained by Operator,  the boat must have still been in forward gear as the right leg of the victim from the knee down sustained very severe lacerations from the propeller. 
  
  Operator was able to climb back into the boat by himself. After doing so, the 4 other occupants immediately began to cover his leg with towels in an attempt to stop the bleeding while 911 was called. They made their way to Lighthouse Landing Marina in Livingston County. 
  
  Once at Lighthouse Landing, Livingston County EMS transported the victim to Lourdes Hospital in McCracken County. From there, Operator was flown via helicopter to Vanderbilt Hospital.
