RedactedNarrative: On Sunday April 3, 2016 about 5:00 pm Operator1 wanted to test drive the jet boat since installing a 454 Chevrolet motor in it.  Victim agreed to go along for the ride and had been consuming alcohol all afternoon. Witness1 agreed to follow along in a jon boat in case the engine broke down.  The weather was windy so they decided to go into a slough on the Mississippi river where the water would be calmer. Operator1 stated they were travelling about 30 mph when the pedestal on the seat where victim was seated came out of the floor & caused victim to fall into the open exhaust jet motor.  Operator1 states victim was fairly intoxicated & stated "get on it" 3 times before he throttled up the motor.  Victim recalls the boat going 120 mph & when the seat pedestal broke he fell backwards into the motor where the belts burned him & broke some of his ribs.  Victim’s wife stated he suffered 6 broken ribs, multiple bruises, burn marks on the left side of his torso & left arm. He also suffered a collapsed lung.  No life jackets were worn.
