RedactedNarrative: On Saturday August 01, 2020, three people were recreational cruising on Watts Bar Lake. At approximately 18:00 hours Subject was approaching an island to drop off subject1. As they approached the island Subject exited the bow of the vessel to lead it onto shore where Subject2 was going to exit the vessel. 
  
  When Subject did this, the water was deeper that he had anticipated. He instructed Operator to operate the vessel to assist him with leading the boat aground. At this time the wind was very strong making operating the vessel very difficult. 
  
  Subject scaled down along side of the pontoon to the back where he would attempt to climb up the ladder on the rear of the vessel. At this time the prop struck Subject on the lower section of his body, causing major injuries. Subject was taken by helicopter to University of Tennessee Medical Center for his injuries.
