RedactedNarrative: Three individuals were tubing on the lake. One was operating the personal watercraft, one was on the tube and the third was in the water behind the personal watercraft. After the individual who was on the tube got back on, the excess rope was around the individual who was in the water behind the PWC. The operator of the PWC accelerated, causing the excess rope to be sucked into the impeller of the PWC. The rope tightened around the leg of the person in the water and he couldn't get free. The operator of the PWC swam to shore for help and called 911. A bystander's pontoon was used to get the victim free from the rope and back to shore where the ambulance personnel could attend to him. He suffered a rope burn around the leg. 
  
  The PWC had not been registered yet. The owner said he was going to get registration on it before it was used, but the kids took it on the water before he could do so. He said he was going to register it through the White Earth Tribe.
