RedactedNarrative: On October 31st, 2020 Operator was returning to Midway Boat Ramp off SR50 on St. John's River. While traveling north, just south of SR528, Operator observed a construction I Beam laying horizontal at chest level. Operator stuck both of his legs out to stop the impact and injured both legs. Operator operated his airboat back to the boat ramp where the fire department and EMS met him. They transported Operator to ORMC. There appeared to be no damage to Operator's airboat. Operator broke his tibia and fibula on his right leg and broke his femur on his left leg. 
  
  Operator informed me that he had traveled south on the St. John’s River past Opossum Bluff. He stated the barges at SR528 were visible and had no issues passing them on their east side to continue south. During the night, at approximately 930 P.M, while traveling north back to SR50, he passed by the barges on the same side. 
  
  He stated he was traveling approximately 5 to 10mph. He stated he noticed one of the construction I Beams (laying horizontal) was about chest level on him. He stated he did not notice the I Beam due to it not having any lights or reflectors on them. Operator stuck both of his legs out to stop the impact and injured both of his legs. He did not fall into the water. He stated he informed one of his friends and traveled back to the boat ramp to receive some assistance. Operator stated he had broken his right leg’s tibia and fibula. He had also broken his left leg’s femur. He stated he had one surgery on November 1st and is scheduled for another surgery November 10th.
