RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated: "There was a guy whose Jet Ski broke down so we offered to tow him a couple hundred yards to the ramp. When we started to move (victim #1) was paying out the tow line so it wouldn't get sucked into the intake. When we got to the end of the line, it was wrapped around her hand and tightened on her thumb." 
  
       Operator #2 Stated: "The battery on my ski died so I asked the guy if he had cables to jump start the ski. He said no, but offered to tow us back to the ramp. I told him we would just walk the ski along the beach back to the ramp, but he offered again so I accepted. As the woman on the back of the other ski let the tow line out it snapped taught and caught her thumb, cutting it pretty bad." 
  
       Statements of both passengers concur with that of the operators.
  
       Investigation revealed that vessel #2 was in Corson's Inlet Park when it became disabled. Operator #1 offered to tow the disabled pwc to Corson's Inlet Ramp in Ocean City, Cape May Co. utilizing a polypropylene line. As vessel #1 proceeded forward, victim #1 (passenger on vessel #1) paid the tow line out to keep it from being sucked into the intake for the jet drive. As the line got taught it became wrapped around the left thumb of victim #1, lacerating same.
  
       Ocean City EMS transported victim #1 to Shore Memorial Hospital in Somers Point for treatment of the laceration.
