RedactedNarrative: On 4/29/20, operator had purchased a 1996 Kawasaki 1100 ZXI Jet Ski (vessel 1). After purchasing the Jet Ski, Operator took it for a test ride at Lucky Peak Lake. While on the test ride, Operator had placed his 7 year old son on the seat in front of him. While riding near Spring Shores Marina’s west boat ramp, Operator had brought the Jet Ski to a slow speed and had commenced into a turn. While making the turn, Operator had lost his balance and fell off of the Jet Ski. As Operator fell from the Jet Ski, the safety lanyard did not function properly, and the Jet Ski remained running, with Operator’s 7 year old son onboard. 
  
  Operator’s son then panicked by grabbing the Jet Ski handle bars tightly, which engaged the throttle. As the throttle engaged, the Jet Ski sped off out of control of Son’s operating skills, and ended up heading towards the Marina’s west boat ramp. As the Jet Ski entered the boat loading area of the ramp, it collided into a spare tire, mounted to a boat trailer.
  
     The collision of the Jet Ski into the trailer mounted spare tire, ended up causing Son a bloody nose and a bruised left leg. It also caused extensive damage to the Jet Ski, which left a large size hole in the port side bow area of the Ski, along with fiberglass damage on the port side stern of the Ski. The impact of the Jet Ski also bent trailer frame and spare tire mount.
