RedactedNarrative: On August 5th, 2018, a single vessel accident occured in the Meloy Channel of Biscayne Bay near Channel Marker #16. The personal watercraft operator jumped the wake of a passing vessel and was subsequently thrown from the jet ski. The operator was rendered unconscious. He was transported to Ryder Trauma Center Hospital and released several days later with no injuries. 
  
  a witness observed the PWC operator attempting to jump the wake of a passing vessel. This witness stated that once the operator was airborne, he lost control of the PWC and hit his head on the handlebars, he appeared to be knocked unconscious and was observed floating in the water. A good samaritan retrieved the subject from the water and called 911.
