  NARRATIVE
  On June 5, 2022, I was patrolling near the mouth of Kane Creek Canyon in Padre Bay when I noticed a helicopter fly into Padre Wash Canyon. I recognized the helicopter as Classic and radio National Park Service (NPS) Dispatch to see if there is an incident I could assist with. NPS Dispatch informed me of a female individual with a broken arm. I asked if the person was on a small vessel or a houseboat. NPS Dispatch explain that the individual was on a houseboat.  
  
  I informed NPS Dispatch that I would be enroute to Padre Creek Canyon without the use of lights or siren. There was very little boat traffic. 
  
  As I began to enter the canyon I could see the helicopter on the north side of the canyon by a houseboat that was beached/anchored. I came down off plan and approached the back of the houseboat. 
  At the back of the houseboat I could see Classic Flight Crew tending to a female patient. Due to another vessel tied up to the back of the houseboat, I was unable to get close or tie up to the houseboat. I stayed away from the houseboat approximately 50ft to slow down any boats that drove past. The female patient was loaded into the helicopter and taken to St. George. 
  
  After the helicopter left people from the houseboat thanked me and asked if I would be traveling to Marina. I said yes. They asked if I would take back a male individual to Marina, who I would later identify from Colorado. I agreed and O1 would gather his belongings. O1 would board my vessel and dawn a lifejacket. 
  
  During our trip to Marina, O1, explained to me what took place. He explained that he was towing his girlfriend on a Jetski in the canyon when she fell. When she fell the tow rope was wrapped around her arm. As tension was applied to the rope from the Jetski it cause injuries to her upper arm. In hearing this I explained to O1 that this was considered a boat accident and needed to be reported. I explained that it was a simple report to do and I could take care of it. I dropped him off at Marina and would follow up with the rest of the group the following day. 
  
  INVESTIGATION
  June 6, 2020
  I boated back to the houseboat from the previous day and spoke with the reporting party. I explained that I need to conduct an investigation of what took place the previous day. The reporting party explained that O1 was in the Padre Creek Canyon towing his girlfriend, on a Jetski. She was on a wakeboard and there was no observer, while he was driving. From the reporting party he slowed down causing her to lose her balance and fall forward. During the fall the tow rope became entangled with her right upper arm. It was then that her suffered her injuries. In talking to the group the arm was obviously broken and she was brought back to the houseboat on the Jetski. I asked if everyone was wearing lifejackets, they said yes. 
  
  This information was similar to what subject has told me on the trip to Wahweap Marina. I then obtained information from the group and took down the bow numbers from the Jetski that was involved with the accident. Subject  is the owner of the vessel. I was unable to obtain any insurance information from the vessel or registration information as this was no onboard the vessel. 
  
  CONCLUSION 
  In conclusion with the support from the driver and the reporting party information, I feel that subject, was driving the Jetski, slowed down quickly by releasing the throttle. As he slowed down victim fell forward into the tow rope. Due to the fact that victim momentum stopped as she hit the water caused the rope
