RedactedNarrative: The operator was driving the PWC with his daughter as a passenger on a private pond.  Witnesses reported neither the operator or occupant were wearing PFDs. It was reported that the operator made a right hand turn, ejecting the operator and occupant from the PWC. The operator was missing.
  
  Based on evidence and information gathered to date, the vessel left the dock.  Shortly after both occupants were ejected to the port side.  The exact cause of the ejections is not able to be determined.   Of the possible contributing factors are the operator’s inexperience with this particular model, although most likely contributing factor was revealed during a post incident function check the vessel reaction to hitting reverse while in forward motion. 
  
  The not wearing of personal flotation devices is what turned the ejection into a fatal event, given that the victim could swim but was wearing street clothes with work boots.
  
  The extra weight and limited movement of those articles caused him to sink and not resurface until he was recovered deceased.
