RedactedNarrative: On 08-29-2015 at approximately 1530 hours a skier mishap occurred on Kerr Scott Lake in the main channel near Bandits Roost Campground. The boat traffic was low on Kerr Scott lake. The weather was clear and warm. The water was calm in the area .
   
      I responded from Lake Hickory to Wilkes Regional Medical Center. I spoke to Victim in the emergency room of the hospital. He explained what occurred. Victim was attempting to ski. He was wearing a PFD. He was in tow from a 21 ft. Tracker Tahoe I/O. His wife was operating the boat. Victim had not skied in a while and was trying to learn again. While being towed on two skis he rose up on plane in the water.  Shortly after starting on two skis he attempted to switch to using one ski. He lost balance falling onto the water. His left leg stretched pulling his hamstring. He did not lose consciousness. No open wounds were visible. His upper left leg was in a lot of pain. The boat turned back picking up Victim and returned him to shore at Bandits Roost Campground. He was transported by ambulance to Wilkes Regional Medical Center. Xray showed no broken bones. He had only a pulled hamstring in his left leg. He was released that evening to follow up with his doctor. I contacted Victim on 09-02-2015 at 1130 hours at his residence. He advised he was doing well and had to meet with his doctor this evening. No other injuries were reported. I spoke to the operator and passenger/owner who advised similar information.
   
      In conclusion the skier mishap occurred due to skier unfamiliar with operating skis. No violations occurred and no citations were issued.
