RedactedNarrative: V1 and V2 were offshore just south of the PB Inlet. V1 struck V2 on the port side near the stern. 
  
  Operator1 was operating a wave runner V1 (HIN # YDV40550F414) offshore just south of the Palm Beach inlet. Operator1 had never operated this vessel before. Operator1 was attempting to return to a vessel to the south of his position. V2 (FL5774EM) was not moving in the water with several subjects onboard. All the subjects were taking turns operating the new wave runner. Operator1 was heading south towards the port side of V2. Operator1 was moving at approximately 45 mph when he attempted to turn and accelerated instead of decelerated striking V2 on port side towards the bow. Operator1 was thrown into the water on impact. No subjects on the V2 were injured. A subject from V2 jumped onto another waver runner and heading into the inlet and flagged down a law enforcement vessel. 
  
  Operator1 was treated and released from St. Marys Hospital. He has a fractured L4 vertebra and swelling to the lower back at buttocks.
