       On this date I was Detailed to Sea Isle City Marina in reference to a vessel accident. Upon arrival I observed a 23 foot pontoon boat with several persons on board, tied to the dock. I met with the operator who advised that his friend fell off of the boat and was injured. Operator further stated that as he approached the area of Sea Isle Blvd Bridge, he pulled back on the throttle to slow the boat for the no wake area. Operator advised that the vessel slowed suddenly and Friend, who was standing at the bow, fell overboard. Operator Stated that he could not stop the boat and it struck Friend when he fell into the water, causing lacerations to his legs.
  
       I then traveled to ACMC to meet with Friend and assess his injuries. Friend advised that he was standing at the bow of the boat and lost his balance when the vessel slowed down, causing him to fall overboard. He then stated that sharp edges on the pontoon struck him and cut his legs.
  
       Investigation revealed Vessel #1 was traveling South on the ICW in the area of the Sea Isle Blvd Bridge. As the vessel entered the no wake area before the bridge, the vessel operator decreased the throttle to slow the vessel. Friend lost his balance and fell off of the bow to the port side. The lifting strake on the port side pontoon struck Friend causing lacerations to his left buttocks and ankle, as well as his right shin. Friend was treated for his injuries at AC Medical Center.
