RedactedNarrative: On monday august 7th, 2018 at 19:12pm est, indiana conservation officer dispatch was notified of an injured male subject who was seeking treatment at jasper memorial hospital and was involved in a water skiing/wake boarding accident on patoka reservoir.
  Operator1 indicated they were wakeboarding with a brand new 2018 yamaha seadoo wake155 personal watercraft (pwc or jetski) near the area of the beach and big island on patoka reservoir in orange county, indiana when the incident happened.
  Operator1 indicated he was operating the pwc while subject1 was riding along as the observer, facing backwards.  Victim, a twenty-five year old white male, was being pulled behind the pwc on a wakeboard.
  Operator1 stated the pwc belonged to victim and was brand new, having only 4 hours of operation time on the engine. Operator1 stated he was attempting to set the speed of the pwc in the wakeboard mode when victim fell down attempting to move from the inside of the wake to the outside hitting the water face first.
  Operator1 thought they were going around 25 or 30 mph when victim fell and thought possible a second boat was in the area tubing which could have thrown off a secondary wake and caused victim to fall.
  This was victim's first wakeboarding trip with the pwc.
  Subject1 stated victim did not lose consciousness and was quick to get up and retrieve his board which fell off.  He then got on the back of the pwc with subject1 with no indication of being injured, she stated.
  The three occupants of the pwc then made their way back to hoosier hills marina on patoka reservoir for the evening.
  It was not until they entered the idle zone surrounding the marina and slowed down in speed, did they noticed anything wrong with victim.  Victim kept asking where he was and what happened.  Victim kept repeating "leave it to beaver" and no one in his family knew why.
  I spoke with victim; however, he did not remember wakeboarding at all.  Victim remembered purchasing the pwc from lexington motor sports less than a month ago and the specific model but could not tell me anything about the accident.
  The pwc, an orange/blue yamaha seadoo wake 115 has yet to be registered in the state of indiana.
  All occupants were wearing their required lifejackets while on board the pwc and the pwc sustained no damage.
  Victim previously had a concussion from playing football in high school and the emergency room physician thought he was at a much greater risk for a second concussion.  Victim was given a ct scan which showed no signs of injury.
  Victim had no other visible injuries i could observe, except for the memory loss.
