RedactedNarrative: On saturday july 6, 2019 around 02:00 pm, a boating incident occurred on badin lake near n shoreline drive, new london nc in montgomery county.  The incident occurred at a dock near this area.  The vessel involved in the incident, is a 21 foot 1998 malibu sunsetter ski boat. The female passenger injured as a result of this incident is victim, the wife of operator.  Victim was standing in the passenger area on the port-side of the vessel at the time of the incident.  Victim fractured her upper arm/shoulder while attempting to stop the vessel from colliding with the dock.  This occurred when the operator of the vessel, operator, was attempting to prevent the vessel from hitting the dock due to the windy conditions on the water that day. 
  
  Operator was operating the vessel on badin lake and travelled from his dock on the north end of badin lake and headed south towards a friend's house to visit.  The vessel was traveling under 10 mph and was drifting towards the dock on the port side.  As the vessel was approaching the dock, the wind caused the vessel to glide towards the dock at a speed that would cause an impact to the port-side of the vessel.  Victim attempted to prevent the vessel from striking the dock by reaching out with her left arm.  As a result of victim's attempt to stop the momentum of the vessel, her left arm was injured. 
  
  After the incident, the vessel was operated from the area of n shoreline drive in badin lake to dock.  When they arrived at their boat dock, emergency personnel were notified.  First responders arrived at the residence and transported victim from the vessel at the dock to the badin lake fire department vessel.  Victim was transported to circle drive access area where they were met by ems.  Victim was transported to randolph health hospital where she was examined, treated and released for a fractured left upper arm/shoulder. 
  
  It appears that the momentum of the vessel and the attempt to prevent damage to the vessel by victim caused her left upper arm/shoulder to be injured while reaching out to grab the dock.  This resulted in a fractured humerus bone in two different areas.  This appears to be a judgement error by the occupant and the wind pushing the vessel towards the dock.  All required safety items were accounted for and the only person injured in this boating incident was victim.  Alcohol and/or drugs was not a factor in this incident.  No one was charged as a result of this boating incident and there was no damage to the vessel or any other property.
