At approximately 1445 hours I, Game Warden, was notified by Sergeant of a boating incident that occurred on Lake Sinclair resulting in an injury. I arrived on scene at approximately 1505 hours where Putnam Fire and EMS were waiting. I spoke with the injured occupant’s husband. 

Operator stated that they had been wake boarding in the Steel Bridge area of Lake Sinclair. He stated that his wife was acting as the observer on the pontoon boat when their nephew who was wake boarding, fell. 

As Operator turned the boat to collect the fallen wake boarder, a tube that was resting on top of the bimini top fell, knocking Occupant into the water. Occupant’s leg then got wrapped up in the rope of the wake boarder, injuring the muscles in her leg. EMS transported her to the hospital. Occupant had a bad sprain in her ankle and swelling in the ligaments and tendons of her right leg, resulting in her wearing a boot. End of report.
