RedactedNarrative: On july 20, 2014, operator was operating a pwc on the big lake at boiling springs. He had a passenger on the back of the pwc. According to operator's father, operator was driving the jet ski and occupant was on the back. They would approach the dock where there were numerous friends and relatives and then they would drive out and the individuals on the dock would throw a frisbee out and occupant, passenger, would jump off the jet ski and try to catch it. It appears that what happened in this particular incident is that when occupant went to jump off the pwc, he must have slipped and fell backwards and hit his head on the rear of the pwc, which resulted in a laceration and momentary unconsciousness. According to operator, when he turned the pwc around he saw occupant in the water and he was unresponsive. He then motored over to him and jumped in the water to assist. Occupant quickly came to and the ambulance was called and he was transported to new hanover regional hospital where he was treated and released. It appears that this incident was caused by operator inexperience, as well as horseplay by the passenger which resulted in the fall and the injury. It is unclear as to whether alcohol was involved. According to the first responders, Occupant had been drinking and admitted to having around six beers. The operator said that he had only consumed alcohol after the incident in an effort to calm his nerves. It is the opinion of this investigator that alcohol did play a role in this incident. However, because operator was allowed to consume after the operation, no charges related to alcohol were filed. Both passengers were wearing uscg approved life jackets and they assisted in keeping the unconscious victim afloat.
