RedactedNarrative: On May 12th, 2018, at approximately 1645 hours, I responded to the shoreline on Little Lake Conway at, and met with the victim in reference to a boating accident. Upon my arrival, Orange County Fire Department Station was arriving to the dock. The victim was lying on the back of a white Azure 21 foot vessel that was still in the partially in the water. The vessel was assisted back into the hoist at the dock so that it could be raised up for the Fire Department to provide treatment to the victim. I spoke with the operator of the vessel who stated the following: On May 12th, 2018, at approximately 1630 hours, he was operating his father's boat on Little Lake Conway, teaching his friend, the victim, how to wakeboard while their wives were onboard watching. While in the area of latitude 28.487043 and longitude -81.339827, he began throttling up, travelling in a northwest direction, attempting to pull the victim up and out of the water on an approximately 50 foot lead when he saw him let go of the rope and appear as if he was in pain. The operator turned the boat around to go back to the victim, jumped in to pull him back to the boat, and then drove the vessel back to his parent's house.
   On the way back, the victim was complaining that his right leg/knee was hurting. The Deputy obtained a sworn statement to be submitted with this report. I spoke with the witness who stated the following: On May 12th, 2018, at approximately 1630 hours, she was sitting in the front starboard portion of the boat while her husband, was driving and their friend, was attempting to learn to wakeboard. As the boat began to accelerate to bring the victim out of the water, he immediately fell and said he heard a "pop" and that he was in pain. Her husband immediately turned the boat around, jumped in the water, and swam the victim back to the boat. The victim’s wife was in the boat as well and when the operator got him back to the boat, the three of them helped to lift him back aboard as he complained of knee and quad pain. The Deputy obtained a sworn statement from a witness to be submitted with this report. I spoke with the witness, the victim’s wife, who stated the following: On May 12th, 2018, at approximately 1630 hours, her husband, the victim, and their friends, the operator and his wife, were out boating on Little Lake Conway. 
  Her husband was attempting to learn to wakeboard and while beginning to come out of the water, he dropped the rope, fell, and waved for them to come back as if he was in pain. The operator of the boat turned the boat around, and they pulled the victim out of the water as he complained of his right leg and thigh hurting. The Deputy obtained a sworn statement from the victim’s wife to be submitted with this report. Orange County Fire Department transported the victim to Orlando Regional Medical Center to be treated for his injuries. Due to be treated, I was unable to speak with him at the time of this incident. It should be noted that the operator of the vessel had a valid Florida Boater Safety Education card , and the victim was wearing the required Life Jacket while wakeboarding. I made sure that the vessel involved in the incident had all needed safety equipment on board at the time of the incident and that there were no boating violations to be documented.
