RedactedNarrative: On august 1, 2020, around 10:15 am, operator1 was operating his 28'' world cat vessel. He and his family were heading south in adam''s creek to atlantic beach. He was almost to sea gate when a large sportfisher vessel passed by at a fast speed, creating a large wake. 
  
  Operator1 slowed down and hit the wake. When he hit the wake, the bow of the boat came up and sent his brother- in-law (who was sitting in the bow facing backwards) flying upward and slammed him back down. Immediately his brother-in-law was in pain so they pulled into the sea gate marina where ems was called to the scene and took victim to carteret general hospital. He was put in a back brace and released later on that day. He had a crushed disc in his lower back. No other injuries or damaged occurred.
