RedactedNarrative: Synopsis:
  Boating Accident with towed person being thrown from tube.
  
  Narrative:
  OPERATOR was operating the vessel, towing VICTIM on an inflated tube.  OPERATOR's general operating pattern was circles and figure eights so as to be able to get the person on the tube to be able to experience riding the tube over the vessel's previously made wakes.
  
  Just prior to the accident, OPERATOR was operating the vessel in a circle, causing VICTIM to go outside the wake on the tube.  VICTIM, on the tube, hit a wave/wake, causing the tube to flip and fly up into the air.  As the tube came back towards the water, VICTIM was "slammed" into the water very hard.

  I was notified of the accident while I was in Logan.
  
  I arrived at the Garden City LDS church just as the AirMed helicopter was taking off with VICTIM on board.
  
  I was able to interview and question OPERATOR at that Garden City LDS church as he was able to load the boat onto the trailer and tow it to that location prior to my arrival.
  
  When I questioned OPERATOR, he described his operation activities.  He also estimated speed the vessel's speed at the time of the accident @ 35 mph.  He did make a comment to me that the fastest he could get the boat to go earlier in the day was 37 mph.  Prior to my arrival at the site of VICTIM being flown from Garden City, OPERATOR had estimated his speed to RCSO Deputy at @ 25 mph.
  
  I gathered information and took photos of the vessel and its associated paperwork.  When I inspected the label on the tube, the recommended maximum speed listed on the tube's label for adults was 20 mph.
