RedactedNarrative: On June 29, 2014, as it is reported, operator was traveling upstream in the Chen Blanc Bayou on his Personal Water Craft (LA-1751-FC). The surface of the canal was somewhat turbulent due to passing vessels. The turbulent surface of the canal coupled with reported mechanical failure of the vessels vertical trim system caused Operator’s PWC begin to be somewhat unstable and its bow to bounce up and down. As a result he fell from his vessel and struck his head on what is believed to be the metal jet nozzle which produces from under the small starboard deck of the Personal Water Craft causing a large laceration to the top of his head. Operator subsequently had to be transported by Acadian Ambulance personal to the Baton Rouge General Hospital for advanced medical assessment and treatment. 
  Operator’s vessel was found to be equipped with all of the necessary/required safety equipment at the time of this incident. All said equipment; Personal Flotation Devices along with the vessel kill switch are believed to have been properly used at the time this incident occurred. 
  Alcohol is not suspected to be a contributing factor in this incidents occurrence.
