RedactedNarrative: Deputy talked with Operator #1. Operator #1 stated that they had just gotten off the dock, turned the boat around to head north onto the lake to go water skiing. He was traveling at a speed of approximately 3-5 mph due to the terrain of the lake. As he was heading onto the lake, he noticed a pontoon boat (WC #2), which was hauling a tube with two occupants, was driving along the west shore of the lake, to the north shore. 
  
  Once WC #2 got in front of WC #1, it turned south and started heading directly toward WC #1. The occupants of WC #1 began to yell to WC #2 to try to divert it. WC #1 was only 100-150 yards off shore. WC #2 noticed WC #1 and took a hard right and was then heading toward the west end of the lake. WC #2's turn had caused the tube to slingshot into the right side of WC #1, sending the younger tuber into WC #1. 
  
  He landed on two of WC #1's passengers, and received a minor injury. The other tuber went flying off the tube and ended up in the water, face down. The impact caused the right windshield of WC #1 to shatter. The impact also caused a passenger, who was sitting in the bow of WC #1, to fall into the water. Another passenger assisted her back into the boat and then he saw the tuber in the water and jumped in and swam to him, and flipped him over. The tuber became conscious at that point. A man who saw the incident from his dock came out in his boat to assist. The two men held on to WC #2 to get the tuber back to shore. They stayed in the shallow water with the tuber, to not make his injuries worse, and waited for first responders.
  
  The deputy then talked with Operator #2. Operator #2 stated that she was driving the pontoon boat and was making her last lap around the lake, pulling two people in the tube, traveling at approximately 25 mph. She turned to head south on the lake when she heard yelling. She looked forward and saw a woman standing in the bow of the boat she was heading at. Operator #2 then took a sharp right turn and caused the tube to swing around and hit the right side of WC #1. She saw the two people in the tube go flying from the impact. She saw one tuber floating in the water and immediately began yelling to try to find the other tuber. He had been flung into WC #1. She then drove the boat to where the tuber was in the water. Two men holding the tuber grabbed onto the side of her boat and she drove them slowly back to shore, where they waited in shallow water. The tubers were transported to the area where the helicopter was staged. The older tuber was transported by air to a St. Cloud hospital. The younger tuber was checked out by paramedics and was cleared with only a scratch behind his ear. There were some bumps and bruises to some occupants of WC #1. Life jackets were being worn by tubers and occupants of WC #2. They were not being used on WC #1. Alcohol was not a factor.
