RedactedNarrative: V1 departed at approximately 6:19PM with Operator operating V1 and Subject1 seated in the rear passenger position. V1 traveled in a northbound direction along the finger canal till they reached the Dania Cutoff Canal, turned to the right and proceeded in an east direction along the Dania Cutoff Canal. 
  
  V1 continued east on the canal when Operator decided to make a U-Turn. Subject1 stated they turned and V1 came close to the canal’s shoreline. Subject1 observed an outstretched tree branch strike Operator on the right side of his head. 
  
  Both Operator and Subject1 were ejected from V1 into the water. The engine cutoff lanyard killed the engine when Operator was ejected into the water. Operator and Subject1 remained on top of the water due to wearing their Personal floatation devices (PFD’s).
  
  Subject1 stated that after they were ejected Operator was face down in the water, unconscious and not moving. Subject1 was able to turn Operator over and keep his head above the water.  She then began to scream for anyone to help. After floating in the canal for approximately15-20 minutes, Subject1 stated two unknown good Samaritans drove up. They assisted Subject1 in lifting Operator out of the water onto the rubber inflatable boat. The good Samaritan on the rubber inflatable conducted first aid on Operator’s head and transported Operator and Subject1 to the dock. 
  
  The medical records came in, ethanol content of operator's blood was 102mg/dl. This converts to .086.;
