RedactedNarrative: Synopsis 
  On April 21st, 2017, at approximately 15:55 hours, Florida Fish and Wildlife Dispatch received a call of a single vessel accident that occurred on the Kissimmee River just outside of the West Gate River Ranch Marina, in Polk County. The vessel (herein referred to as V1) was underway at a high rate of speed with only the operator on-board. 
  
  Operator was observed operating his vessel south in the River Ranch Canal by witnesses in a separate vessel. The witnesses believe Operator was operating at a speed of approximately 70 mph when a gust of wind caused his vessel to lift and exit the water.  After the vessel left the water, the stern of the vessel re-entered the water first followed by the bow of the vessel. It is at this time that Operator was thrown from the vessel into the canal where he was later located. Good Samaritans directly on scene attempted to locate Operator but were unsuccessful during their initial search. 
  Emergency personnel arrived on scene and began search efforts to recover Operator. Operator was located on April 22nd by the Polk County Dive Team in 30 feet of water.
