RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, 8-11-18, at approx. 1400hrs, operator was operating a PWC bearing LA-8514-GD with one person as his passenger.  They were with some friends who were in another vessel at Gilligan’s Island (on the south side of the Lake Des Allemands) when some weather was approaching.  Operator made a run to a calmer section of the lake alone then proceeded back to get everyone else to tell them the news of calmer water.  When they were headed to calmer water, Occupant mounted on the rear of the PWC to ride with her husband.  While traversing on the PWC equipped with remote steering through the rough water they hit a wave causing Operator to hit the steering bars with his upper abdomen tossing him over the bars and hitting his right eyebrow on the front of the PWC.  Occupant remained on the PWC and rendered aid to her husband.  PFD’s were worn along with the kill lanyard attached to Operator.  Through the investigation it was determined that Operator’s lack of experience with that type of vessel (excessive speed) mixed with the given lake conditions were factors in this incident.  Alcohol was not a factor.  Operator sustained injuries such as a torn abdominal muscle, bleeding in his stomach, possible broken ribs, and a cut above his right eyebrow.  Occupant was not injured.
