RedactedNarrative: On September 4, 2015, at about 5:00 pm, the operator of vessel #1, operator1, was operating a kawasaki stx 15f personal water craft and pulling four occupants on an xps d-80 tube.  The operator entered a narrow cove that was about 220 feet across.  The operator turned to leave the cove.  While doing so the tube swung out to the right.  The tube and two of its occupants hit a dock and a third occupant may have struck her head against one of the victims upon impact. 
   
  The impact caused these three occupants to be ejected from the tube after hitting the dock and thrown into the water.  Tuber1 and tuber2 were knocked unconscious.  Tuber3 suffered a head injury, possibly from hiting her head against one of the other victims.  The victims were rescued by other occupants of the pwc and tube and assisted onto the dock.  Tuber1, tuber2, and tuber3 were treated at the scene by the northampton county rescue squad.  Tuber3 refused to be transported to the halifax regional medical center.  Tuber1 and tuber2 were taken to the halifax regional medical center for treatment.  Tuber1 and tuber2 were then transported to vidant medical center for further treatment.  Tuber1 suffered a severe head concussion.  Tuber1 also had about a three inch laceration to the right side of her forehead about three inches above her right eye.  On september 12, 2015, it was reported by tuber1''s father that she has sever bruising to her right side, a deep bone bruise on her right shin (right lower leg), a broken right big toe, and a concussion.  Tuber2 also suffered a severe head concussion along with a large lump to the right side of her head.  On september 12, 2015, it was reported by tuber2''s father that she has severe bruising to the right side of her face, a basal skull fracture, a concussion, and a possible rotator cuff injury.  At the scene, tuber3 showed symptoms of a possible concussion and after she had a phone conversation with her mother, had an acquaintance take her to the halifax regional medical center where she was treated for a concussion and a sore neck and then  released from the hospital.  All occupants of the personal water craft and tube were wearing their personal flotation devices.
   
  The operator was interviewed at the hospital the day of the incident.  The operator stated that he did not have experience pulling subjects on a tube.  He also stated he was too close to the boat dock.
   
  The operator was charged with reckless and negligent operation of a motor boat, operating a pwc within 100 foot of a dock at greater than no wake speed, and causing the occupants of the tube to collide with the dock.
