On 07-28-2023 at approximately 1134  hours I responded to the Riviera Marina in reference to a male subject who's hand was amputated while wakeboarding. The vessel was headed to the marina from down south near the pumping station. Fire/EMS was enroot to the marina as well via land. Upon arrival, the involved vessel was being followed by multiple Law Enforcement Vessels into the marina. The juvenile male subject was laying on the back seat with a towel wrapped tightly over his right hand. It was learned that the juveniles hand was completely amputated. Fire/EMS quickly got the victim, Victim, loaded into the ambulance and transported to HRMC. Victim's hand was in an ice chest which fire took with them. I then spoke to the operator of Vessel 1, Victims Father.

Vessel 1 Operator:
In essence Operator stated that Victim was wakeboarding and fell into the water. He said that when Victim fell, he felt a strange tug on the boat from the rope. When he turned the boat around to pick up Victim, Victim was screaming and he saw that Victims right hand was missing. They located Victims hand which was still attached to the rope. They then got Victim loaded onto the boat and wrapped his hand and brought him to the Riviera.  Operator also showed me that the left boot of Victim''s wakeboard was ripped out from the impact of the fall. Victim still had the left wakeboard boot on when they pulled him onto the boat.
