RedactedNarrative: On April 27, 2016, I, Officer, of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, received a call from our dispatch regarding a boating accident involving a jetski on St. George Island right behind the Blue Parrot Restaurant on the Gulf of Mexico side.  One young woman was taken to the Weem's Memorial Hospital in Apalachicola with a nose injury and a possible neck injury.
  
  In the waiting room was the jet ski operator.  I proceeded to ask Operator what happened and she said that she was driving head on into the waves and that it got rough so she tried to hit the waves at an angle.  Then a wave threw both of them off the jet ski.  She said they swam back to the jet ski and that's when her passenger, Victim, said she was injured and came back to shore.
  
  I asked Operator if she would be willing to do a sworn written statement and she agreed.  Operator filled out the statement as I waited for the injured occupant to get done with x-rays.  Once Victim came back to her hospital room, I had a chance to talk to her. 
  
  I asked Victim what happened and she told me that they rented a jet ski and that Operator was driving.  It was pretty rough on the water and that they hit a wave and it threw both of them off and into the water.  Victim told me she hit her face on something but she didn't know what.  They both swam back to the jet ski and then returned to shore. 
  
  I asked Victim if she would do a sworn written statement and she agreed.  After gathering Victim statement I took pictures of her injured nose.  While getting the pictures, the doctor came in and confirmed that Victim's nose was broken.  I gave Victim and Operator a business card and told them that if they remember anything else from the accident to give me a call.
  
  I left Weems Memorial Hospital at 1527 hours and went back to SGI Rental to speak to get some information and pictures.  I took pictures of the jet ski involved, FL numbers, registration sticker, and also received a copy of the SGI Rental Certificate of Liability Insurance (see attachments).
  
  Based on my investigation, I believe the accident happened due to operator inexperience and rough sea conditions.  No warnings or citations were issued to the operator.
