  On Friday, December 21st, 2018, at approximately 1330 hours, vessel accident FWSB18OFF017593 occurred within Florida’s state waters of Gordon Pass, Collier County, involving one PWC (FL 2838 RN) versus a wave. The PWC was cruising through Gordon Pass where large waves were currently accumulating due to the severe weather in the area. As the operator approached one large wave, the PWC was launched into the air vertically at approximately 90 degrees, causing the operator to push away from the PWC. As the PWC leveled back out, the operator’s left leg made contact with the transom of the PWC. The sole occupant and operator onboard the PWC sustained minor injuries as a result of the accident. There was no damage to the vessel. The Operator received minor treatment for a cut to his left shin and was released immediately. There were no stitches required. X-Rays revealed no broken bones. The cut was accompanied by deep bruising and swelling
