RedactedNarrative: Subject and his son were jug fishing Green River on 09/25/15.  While running at full throttle from one group of jugs to another the lid from a large plastic tote bin came off and flew into the air.  Fearing that the lid was about to strike his 4 year old son, Operator reached to block it.  For an unknown reason the boat suddenly turned sharply to the port side.  Operator feared that his son would be injured if he was inside the boat when it struck land so he grabbed him and threw him into the water.  The 4 year old was wearing a personal flotation device and was uninjured.  Operator was thrown from the boat when it struck land.  He does not remember whether he hit the water or the bank but he ended up at the water's edge next to his boat, which was 90% out of the water.  A witness to the accident describe the accident the same as Operator.  A follow up with Operator revealed that he did not suffer any permanent physical damage.  An MRI indicated a disc protrusion that is expected to heal properly.
