RedactedNarrative: I asked what happen they mention that subject was behind the helm making sure the boat was on neutral, but he accidently bumps the throttles into gear causing injuries to Victim who was getting into the water at the stern of the vessel.  I had Subject1 write a sworn statement which is included in this report. Subject1 stated that “That victim was attempting to get in the water and as he when to put the boat in neutral he bumps the boat into reverse which caused the prop to strike Victim. Victim them got himself into the boat under his own power and they proceeded back into the Hillsboro Inlet where they met paramedics”.
  
  	I also got a writing statement from the son of the owner of the vessel and was operating the vessel. Subject2 stated: “That he was diving when he got called back to the boat by his injure friend getting assisted by Subject1. Subject2 operated the boat back to the Hillsboro Inlet”. Subject2 stated he directed to keep control of the vessel while he went diving. I asked who operated to and back to the incident and Subject2 said that he did. 
  
  After I got their statements I determine that even that subject was the one who bumps the throttle the actual operator of the vessel who drove the vessel to and back from the location and instructed Subject1 to stay behind the Helm was Subject2. 
  
  Subject2 should had turn off the engines of the vessel before swimmers enter the water. The vessel has a placard that warns operators to turn off engines while swimmers in the water. Victim was struck by the vessel propeller resulting in  deep lacerations to left lower buttocks area and right lower abdominal area, but it was not life threatening.
