RedactedNarrative: V1 with three people onboard was travelling up the Salcha River when they experienced engine trouble and floated down river with minimal control. V1 became stuck in some downed submerged trees and the vessel capsized. Two of the three occupants were struck by the vessel and sustained head (and ear injuries). Two of the three were able to get to shore relatively easy in their inherently buoyant life jackets. The operator was wearing Suspenders (inflatable) which failed to deploy. The operator was submerged/trapped under the trees and swallowed a significant amount of water causing some lung injury. He was successfully rescued by the other two occupants.
