RedactedNarrative: The operator of Vessel I was traveling southwesterly at a slow rate of speed when his passenger decided to jump off the stern of the boat to cool down in the water. 
  
  The operator, who had been talking on his cell phone, put the boat in neutral and turned off the engine as soon as he realized his passenger had jumped off. 
  
  The passenger then asked for assistance boarding the boat and stated she had cut her leg on the propeller. EMS responded and administered first aid until the injured party was transported to the hospital. 
  
  The victim required surgical repair to a tendon in her leg as a result of the accident.
