RedactedNarrative: I, RFC, along with Sgt. received a call from the Hart County Sheriff's Office at approximately 4:53 PM on May 23, 2015 in reference to a boating incident on Hartwell Lake.  The incident occurred at Mary Ann Branch Ramp involving one boat with injuries.  We arrived at the scene at approximately 5:10 PM, spoke with the deputies on scene who identified the operator of the boat.  
  
  On May 26, 2015 I spoke with Operator again on the incident.  I got more needed information for the report and got him to describe the incident to me again.  He told me the same thing as of the day it happened.  He stated to me that all were taking turns skiing and during the time Victim was skiing he wanted to switch from a knee board to regular skies.  Operator stated to me that they had trouble with the throttle throughout the day and that sometimes in order for the motor to go in neutral the boat would have to be shut off.  He stated that at the time of the incident he thought the boat was in neutral.  When Victim attempted to board the boat from the back he failed and his left leg collided with the propeller that was possibly still in gear.  Operator stated that all were wearing PFD's because all were taking turns skiing.  He stated they got Victim aboard the boat and headed for the nearest ramp.
  
  On May 27, 2015 I spoke with the victim and he stated to me that he was doing the best he could.  He said that the hospital stitched his laceration and he was released.  He returned to Long Island, New York to continue to run his business.  He said that he has to receive physical therapy due to the cut hitting a nerve.  He described the incident the same way that Operator did.
