RedactedNarrative: On may 26, 2019 at approximately 1940 hours, i florida fish and wildlife conservation commission (fwc) officer was dispatched to a call reference a vessel incident resulting in an injured passenger. 
  
  Victim was also interviewed by telephone due to unavailability to coordinate a physical meeting. Victim stated that she asked operator to stop the boat so that she could get in the water briefly. Victim stated that when the boat came to a stop, she started to climb down the swim ladder and slipped and fell.
  
   Victim stated that as she was swimming back to the swim ladder, she felt a "flap of skin" on her right foot. When victim climbed back up the swim ladder and onto the boat, she noticed a laceration to her right foot, with a flap of skin loosely attached. She described the laceration as an open wound to the top of her foot from her toes to her ankle. She described the laceration as a flap of skin removed from the top of her foot and hanging to one side. Victim stated that she was treated at mount sainai hialeah hospital, the laceration received stitches, and victim was released from medical care.
  
  Victim did not know what caused the laceration to her right foot, but assumed that she scraped her foot on the swim ladder when she slipped off while climbing down into the water.
  
  After multiple attempts, victim was not available for any further interview or documentation of her injuries.
  
  Subsequent to an inspection of the vessel involved, and the area of the vessel where the incident occurred, i could not find any manufacturer errors in construction or otherwise sharp or damaged areas to cause a laceration injury. It is my conclusion that a fall by the injured person, and directional friction of a component of the telescoping swim ladder on the top portion of the injured person's foot caused the laceration, similar by description to an avulsion injury.
  
  With the information and circumstances currently available, this concludes the fwc involvement in this investigation.
