RedactedNarrative: The watercraft was towing a skier on the lake. The skier was practicing barefoot waterskiing for an upcoming water show and was not wearing a life jacket but had a semi-buoyant wet suit on. 
  
  While traveling at approximately 40 MPH, the skier fell. The Operator stopped the watercraft and saw the skier start to swim toward the boat before going unconscious in the water. 
  
  The Operator pulled the skier into the watercraft, called 911 and transported him to shore where first responders attempted life saving measures. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance where he was pronounced deceased. Alcohol was not a factor.
