RedactedNarrative: On 5/1/16, I, with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division observed a news feed on my personal Facebook account which depicted a subject that had been injured in a wake boarding mishap. I read the comments and saw that the incident occurred on Lake Harding in Harris County and that the subject was taken to the emergency room. I passed the information to Officer1 since I was off and asked that he make contact with the individuals to complete a boat incident report. Due to scheduling conflicts, Officer1 was never able to meet with the parties involved.
  On 5/4/16, I met with Operator1, the vessel operator, and interviewed her for the boat incident report. Operator1 said that the incident happened in the Boat Club Slough which is on the Georgia side of the lake. Operator1 said she was towing Injured1 on a wake board when he fell. Operator1 said she turned around to pick him up and noticed that Injured1 was bleeding severely from his head, specifically above his right eye. Operator1 went on to say that other occupants in the boat helped Injured1 out of the water and into the boat. They went back to the dock and put butterfly band aids on the laceration. Operator1 said that because of the depth of the laceration, Injured1 went to the St. Francis ER to have the wound looked at. By the time they arrived at the ER, the laceration had closed and the ER staff only cleaned the area and glued the laceration.
  I spoke to Injured1 and he confirmed the information. Injured1 said he believes his wake board caught a wave as he was attempting to land a jump. The impact flipped Injured1 and he said his wake board hit him in the head as he landed causing the laceration.
  Nothing was noted during the interviews that would lead me to believe that Injured1 sustained the injury any other way than what he and Operator1 told me. This report is based on witness accounts and the information I was provided at the time of the investigation.
