RedactedNarrative: On April 8, 2018, at approximately 1536 hours, I was dispatched to a boating accident that occurred at Anclote Sandbar.  FWC dispatch relayed a man had been caught under a boat and was injured by the propeller. 
  
  Victim was operating the rented pontoon boat on the Gulf of Mexico.  He and Occupant were fishing.  They later pulled up to the Anclote Sandbar and picked up the ladies.  Victim needed to urinate.  Victim pulled back on the throttle.  Unbeknownst to him, he did not put the vessel in neutral.  (It was still in forward)  Victim jumped into the water to relieve himself; the water level was above his head.  
   
  The vessel continued to move, while the bow was pushed up along the shoreline of the sandbar.  The vessel swung wide, with the propeller headed toward the direction of Victim’s location.  The vessel’s propeller struck Victim’s arm.  Victim turned to get away from the vessel and the propeller caught his leg.  Victim screamed for someone to shut off the boat. 
  
  According to subject, Victim was pulled under the water and was approximately ten to fifteen feet behind the vessel within two seconds.  Subject immediately turned the engine off and called 911.  Victim swam with his working arm and leg back to the vessel, where he was brought back on board by the occupants from the side of the vessel.  
  
  Subject2 responded to Victim’s lacerations and conducted first aid.  She applied pressure with the family’s towels on both his arm and leg.  The party was instructed to bring Victim into the Gulf Harbor Yacht Club, where he would be met by the EMS crew.
