RedactedNarrative: There was a large hole in the hull near the bow on the starboard side. Subject explained that he had just purchased it that day for $2,800.  Subject explained that he had just met the operator that day on the lake and did not know his name. 
  
  Subject and operator1 agreed to switch machines and ride each other's pwc before the incident took place. Subject showed ranger and i the title to the pwc. Subject explained that operator1 fell off of subject's machine and it then hit the rip rap on the shoreline causing the damage. 
  
  I asked subject if his pwc was equipped with a cutoff switch. Subject showed ranger and i the cutoff switch. Subject explained that he left due to the rising tensions and racial accusations being made. The next morning i called operator1 and asked him to meet with me about the incident. Operator1 agreed and we met at the lake manawa park office. I asked operator1 to fill out an operator's report form and give me a written statement of the events. Operator1 complied. Operator1 described that, although he is very experienced on pwc, he was not familiar with that model and did not realize that the cutoff switch could be clipped to his vest and was not one warn on the wrist. Operator1 stated that he was going near full throttle outside the buoys by the north point when he let off of the throttle to make a sharp turn, but the throttle did not release. The pwc went further into the water than operator1 expected and he fell off the pwc. The pwc continued towards the south boat ramps and made contact with the shore line just east of the south boat ramps. Operator1 stated that subject chased the pwc on operator1's pwc in an attempt to stop it but was unsuccessful. I issued one citation to operator1 for failure to wear the cutoff lanyard (462a.12(14)).  Victim was wearing a life jacket
