RedactedNarrative: On June 23, 2020 at 10:30 hours, I was notified, via email, of a boating incident that occurred on June 21, 2020 at approximately 13:30 hours, on Lake Worth in Dougherty County. The victim was being towed by a Tahoe Ski Boat (GA Reg# GA6483MX).
  
  I responded to Phoebe Putney Hospital and spoke with Victim about the incident. Victim stated that at approximately 12:45, three people and he launched their vessel at the Cleve Cox landing and headed north on Lake Worth. 
  
  Victim stated that at approximately 13:00 hours he started wake boarding behind the vessel. Victim stated that approximately 500 yards, up-river, from the Albany Sportsman’s Club he attempted to jump the wake coming from Operator’s vessel and landed awkwardly in the water. He stated that the front of the wakeboard went under the water and he hesitated his release of the tow rope causing him to land violently in the water. Victim stated that when he surfaced, he felt pain in his hip and thigh area. I had Victim to complete a medical records release form and informed him that I would be in contact with him if I had any further questions. I submitted the completed medical records release form the Phoebe Putney Hospital staff for processing.
  
  After speaking with Victim at Phoebe Putney, I travelled to Master Body Works and spoke with operator regarding the incident. Operator’s statement coincided with Victim. Operator stated that he had only owned the boat a short time and that he was unfamiliar with Lake Worth and had only travelled the area a few times. He stated that Victim instructed him to keep the boat between 18 and 20 miles per hour as Victim started to ski. Operator said that Victim skied for a short distance and then attempted to jump the vessel’s wake. Operator stated that Victim fell and his wife, who was observing Victim, instructed Operator to turn around to pick him up. When Operator arrived at Victim’s location, Operator said that Victim complained of pain in his leg and thigh area. Operator jumped into the water to assist Victim to shore in attempts to load him onto the vessel. Operator loaded Victim onto his vessel with the assistance of occupants from a passing vessel and slowly transported him to Cleve Cox Landing to meet an ambulance for transport to the hospital for treatment.
  
  In summary, I determined that the position of Victim’s wake board upon landing and his delay in releasing the ski rope led to a violent jerking motion in his lower body, due to his feet being fastened to the wake board. These actions led to his legs and torso being torqued in an aggressive manner causing injuries/fractures of his right femur and pelvic bone.
