RedactedNarrative: Subject and I just picked up a Yamaha Waverunner rented at Lanier Jet Skis in Buford, GA. The pickup location was the ramp at Lake Lanier Islands next to the Lanier Islands Bridge. To the best of my knowledge and according to subject he had driven jet skis similar to this rental before and he did take the only safety test and watch the video as required by individuals renting watercraft on the lake.  
  
  I launched and was riding my own personal Sea-Doo Jetski. We were in route to Holiday Marina to meet up with the rest of a group from our office. When the accident occurred we were in front of Holiday Marina, outside the no wake barriers, more specifically in front of the first houseboat dock on your right hand side as you are approaching the marina. There was no boat traffic on the water at the time with the exception of one roughly 28’ Searay cruiser that passed us just as we were rounding the corner and approaching Holiday Marina. In front of Holiday I had made a U-Turn and was heading back into the direction of the open body of the lake. 
  
  There was still some residual wake from the cruiser that had passed us but that boat was more than 100 yards or more away at that point. 
  
  Subject was still traveling toward the Marina. I passed him on the Port Side. We were on opposite sides of the residual of the wake from the Cruiser. Shortly after I passed him maybe 15 seconds I made another U-Turn and that is when I noticed his ski was stopped and he was in the water. 
  
  It appeared that victim struck the right side-view mirror with his head.  The mirror was the only portion of the waverunner that sustained any damages.
