RedactedNarrative: Vessel 2 was travelling counter-clockwise around the lake when Vessel 1 approached Vessel 2.  The Operator of Vessel 2 reported trying to turn to port to avoid the collision, however, Vessel 1 also turned to port resulting in a collision.  The damage to Vessel 2 was primarily on the starboard side, under the rub rail; damage to Vessel 1 started on the rub rail, on the front starboard side and continued up along the starboard side of the console.  The damage evidence on both vessels is consistent with a head-on collision. 
   
  Both Operators were transported to the hospital after complaining of arm pain and leg pain respectively following the incident.  Both Operators were treated and released for bruising and sprains as a result of the collision.
  
  Operator Inexperience is listed as the primary contributing factor in this case based on the fact that both Operators had very little prior experience in operating a personal watercraft; additionally, Operator Inattention is noted as a secondary contributing factor based on the fact that the two Operators did not remain situationally aware of each other's positions in proximity to each other during operation preceding the incident.
