RedactedNarrative: PWC ejected operator into the water and collided against mangroves. 
  
  Operator of vessel-1 was launching PCW into the water. Operator of vessel-1 had his PFD hanging around steering wheel of PWC. Operator of vessel-1 was not wearing safety lanyard. Operator was manuvering the PWC around the boat ramp when throttle of vessel got stuck with the PFD that was hanging around the steering wheel. 
  
  The  PWC accelerated in a rapid manner ejecting the operator from the vessel and into the water. PWC continued its course crashing into the mangroves located across from the boat ramp. I observed significant damages to the PWC ( front, bottom and side damages). There was also several mangrove with their trunk broken due to the impact of the PWC.
