RedactedNarrative: One subject was injured when he was attempting to dislodge his sailing vessel from being aground.  A power vessel was being used to pull the sailing vessel off when the mast broke and fell onto the subject.  The subject was transported to the hospital and was hospitalized for a couple of weeks.  No violations of law were observed.  
  
  On 10/3/17 I made contact with victim and he explained that his vessel had come loose from the anchor and it had drifted onto the south east side of state road 520 in Cocoa.  He then attempted to get the vessel back afloat.  He had attached dock lines to the mast and had a friend use a powerboat to pull the vessel off the shore line.  While he was doing this, the mast came loose and fell on him.  He sustained broken ribs, a punctured lung, ruptured vertebra in his neck and back.  He was hospitalized for two weeks and was released.
