RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1, a center console/remote steering vessel, was underway on the Tchefuncte River with 4 occupants. Vessel traffic was heavy that day. While heading downstream near the southwest bank of the river, occupant 1 of vessel 1 was hanging his legs over the starboard gunwale with a wakeboard attached to his feet for the purpose of entering the water to wakeboard. 
  
  Victim was wearing a PFD. While the boat was in gear, and without the knowledge of the operator, Victim jumped into the water from the starboard side of vessel 1 to begin wakeboarding. Unaware that Victim had entered the water, Operator had the motor in gear and was turning to port in order to move the vessel away from the shoreline toward mid-channel while also attempting to avoid additional vessel traffic. 
  
  During the turn to port, the stern of the vessel traveled over Victim's location in the water. It was at this time that Victim sustained propeller strikes to the inside of both legs in the groin area. Other occupants of the vessel retrieved the injured Victim from the water and began first aid, called 911 and moved the injured to the nearest docking facility accessible by road. Alcohol and/or drug use is not suspected as a contributing factor in this incident.
