RedactedNarrative: On september 4th, 2016 at approximately 17:50, a boating incident occurred on lake tillery directly in the middle of the main channel across from the morrow mountain state park boat slip.  Vessel 1 was a 10-foot, 2007 yamaha gp1300r with a 165 hp jet drive engine. There were no other occupants on board the personal water craft.  The personal water craft jumped the wake of an unknown vessel (vessel 2) causing it to go airborne.  When the personal water craft landed back into the water, the impact fractured leg as well as ejected him from the personal watercraft. 
  
  Operator1 and his wife had been riding their personal water crafts on lake tillery for a couple hours that afternoon.  Operator1 was traveling north bound on the lake directly in the middle of the channel headed towards falls dam.  He was traveling approximately 35 mph.  According to operator1, an unknown vessel (vessel 2) came out of the uwharrie river and turned northbound heading towards the falls dam.  There was a lingering wake left behind vessel 2, approximately 3ft high.  Operator1 said that he was unable to avoid the lingering wake and his personal watercraft made contact with it.   Once his personal water craft made contact with vessel 2's wake, the personal water craft was forced upwards and completely out of the water.  When operator1's personal water craft made contact back with the lake, it impacted at a downward angle towards the starboard side.  The force from the impact between the personal water craft and the water instantly fractured operator1's lower right leg, breaking both his tibia and fibula.  However, operator1 was unaware at the time that he had fractured his leg.  Upon impact he also hit the handle bars with his chin causing a minor laceration.  Operator1 was ejected from the personal water craft but was conscious.  He was able to swim back over to and board his personal watercraft.  According to operator1, the operator of vessel 2 observed the incident and came by to verify that he was ok.  At the time he did not realize he was injured so he replied that he was fine.  Vessel 2 then departed from the scene of the boating incident. 
  
  Shortly after the incident, operator1's wife came over on her personal watercraft to check on her husband.  At this time operator1 could tell his leg was broken.  He then told his wife to travel back to a friend's house near carolina forest to get assistance.  Operator1's friend came to assist operator1 with his pontoon boat.  He was able to get operator1 onto his pontoon boat and travel the short distance to the morrow mountain boat ramp to wait for stanly county emergency medical service to arrive.  The north carolina wildlife resources commission responded to the scene by water and were on scene less than 10 minutes after the boating incident.  Stanly county ems arrived and transported operator1 to stanly regional medical center. 
  
  There was no property damage or any damage done to any vessel during the incident.  Operator1 received a minor laceration on his chin and two broken bones on his lower right leg.  The broken bones required two surgeries. 
  
  There were no reckless or negligent factors contributing to this incident.  There was no alcohol involved in this incident.   It appeared as though the operator's injuries were a result of the personal watercraft impacting the other vessel's wake.
